Dog Police
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dog Police was an obscure American new wave pop-rock band that has gained recent notoriety thanks to postings of their music video "Dog Police" on internet video websites such as YouTube.
[edit] Band History
Dog Police's musical career was short-lived, with the band releasing only a self-titled album in 1983. They produced videos for two of their singles, "Dog Police" and "1-800". The back of their album features still shots from their music videos while the front features a photo from the "Dog Police" shoot.
