T Rexx!!!!! Great band!!! I didn't think anyone else knew of them! I bought their Man's Best Friend album back in the 80's after seeing the album cover.
A few years back I was doing short reviews of some of my vinyl & here's what I wrote:
Wild Dogs – ‘Man’s Best Friend” Label: Shrapnel Records Year: 1984 Review by Bucky
This was one of those albums I bought because of the cover. How could I resist a cover with a fangs out Doberman snarling over a defeated bloody body clutching a spiked baseball bat in front of a blood splattered wall?? This band is what 80’s metal was all about & with song titles like “Woman in Chains”, “Rock’s Not Dead”, “Stick to Your Guns”, “Beauty & a Beast”, & “Endless Nights” there is nothing more you could ask for in an 80’s metal album. The band has a sound of Motley Crue, Accept, Dokken,& maybe even a little bit of Raven. This album is full of screaming lead guitars by Jeff Mark, loud powerful vocals by lead singer Mathew T., & a heavy rhythm section of bassist Danny Kurth & drummer Deen Castranova. What I really love about this record is how it builds up where the next song is stronger than the previous track. The standout tracks are “Beauty & a Beast” which is followed by 2 anthems “Believe in Me” & “Rocks Not Dead”, “Endless Nights”(which has a bit of Scorpions feel to it), ”Ready or Not”, & the closing track “Stick to Your Guns”. Overall there really isn’t a weak track on this gem

The album cover is as corny as it is wild (Wild Dogs). They're kind of a tongue-in-cheek band, but with a lot of bombastic, great hard rockin' tunes.
