Brendan Mckinney & the 99 Brown Dogs
Get on With It
Brendan McKinney & The 99 Brown Dogs have released Skin a Cat, a full-length album that moves through alt blues rock and Americana without ceremony. 'Skin a Cat' has it all, biting guitars hard hitting drum work backing up McKinney's voice that has rich depth to it. Don't worry, there is plenty of groove to get you moving as well thanks to Brendan's experience that he gained from many years on the road and time in the studio.
Some of the tracks are already being pitched for TV and film placements, and the album is now available on vinyl for those who want it in hand. One of those tracks is 'Get On With It', a blues infused rock track that has everything you could possibly want in a song. The harmonica starts things of before Brendan's gritty vocals kick in to do what he does best, storytelling. This track in particular is a prime example of McKinney's ability to build a scene and character with lyrics.

He drives the message home by slowing things down half way through, there is still a groove there but you can feel the mood shift slightly. Basically saying "you have to sort yourself out". McKinney has played in Colorado, Nashville, and across Europe so he knows how to make every performance count. 'Skin a Cat' and 'Get On With It' in particular captures that energy perfectly.
With the album out, the focus is on reaching new ears. Distribution, marketing, licensing and finding the right partners to carry the music further. For now, though, it’s just a record of a band who have been making their sound for years, and aren’t done yet thankfully.
