Dog Fashion Disco - Committed To A Bright Future (2003)

When I first heard DFD I was completely nonplussed. The music began in fairly generic Metal fashion. Almost Nu-metal riffs and shouty vocals. then what can only be described as a circus sounding Organ entered the fray and then the track broke down into some well played Jazz with some maniacal backing vocals. I was transfixed immediatedly. I love it when seemingly generic music has the cobwebs blown off it and another spin put on it.

DFD's music includes Psychedelic rock, Jazz, Circus and huge riffs. Their lyrics are ireverent and satirical. It is also incredibly cohesive and damn fun to listen to. Sure there are more experimental bands out there fucking with genres but very few do it with a great big sick smile on their face.

It was a toss up between this album and the first album I heard of theirs about 7 years ago (Anarchists Of Good Tastes). Tracks such as this swayed me:
