Dog Eat Dog is Joni Mitchell's album of 1985, her second album for Geffen Records. Whereas most of Mitchell's work has a timeless quality and sound to it, Dog Eat Dog goes out of its way to sound like 1985. The lyrics deal with issues facing society at the time, such as televangelists and famine in Ethiopia, and the sound is very pop/techno.
Dog Eat Dog, an American band originally based out of Bergen County, New Jersey, began as part of the hardcore music scenes of New York City and New Jersey. In the last decade, the band's sound has evolved with the incorporation of elements of funk, ska and hip hop. The current lineup of the band consists of Dave Neabore (bass), John Connor (vocals), Brandon Finley (drums) and Matt Salem (guitar).
