"Raleigh's RAW DOG led by Manning "MK5" Kimmel and supported by a revolving cast of players, has spent the last decade crafting irreverent comedy punk, indebted to the likes of GWAR and MOJO NIXON....'Captain Belligerent' is a ragged cowpunk tune that might tuck more than a little truth into it's tongue-and-cheek anthem of assholery"

"While listening to RAW DOG: IT'S JUST WRONG! (Demos 2006-2014) I heard something that could only be described as 'if Sid Vicious lived into the 80's, kicked Depeche Mode's collective asses, and stole their keyboards"

"RAW DOG exists in the same rare space as Unknown Hinson, The Insane Clown Posse, The Dead Milkmen, and GWAR...rejecting the trappings of beauty, they dredge up all the worst aspects of humanity, and make fun of them"

"Strange as it may seem I actually know this guy and seen him perform some of these songs at a local music festival. After he was finished there wasn't a dry eye (or full stomach) left in the crowd. Although he did get plenty of applause from the crowd on hand"

“Q: If you saw MK5(of RAW DOG)today, would you punch him in the nose? A: I'm not a violent person....but yeah ”

"You're INSANE!"

“That guy is fuckin' hilarious!”

“What is this crap? It's SO weird! If it's not like, something I've heard a million times before I DON't LIKE IT!”

“Like a guy with a three-day beard and beer gut wearing a stained wifebeater in line outside a ritzy dance club, it's hard to know what to make of RAW DOG. Veering wildly as though Vince Neil were behind the wheel, RAW DOG explores ambient electronica, spoken-word moments, noisy post-punk churn and ball-scratching acoustic guitar humor."”
