Artist History Formed by songwriter/artist Duane Orvedahl who has attracted the attention of Atlantic Records (CA)with some of his original music. THE ROCK DOGS were formed in February 1999 where they began developing their 'sound' and expanding the songs written by Duane. The group offers a 'classic' yet original rock style, good vocals and a phnenominal lead guitarist. They would like to have their music played all over the world. Record companies have made themselves pretty untouchable to the majority of artists, and radio stations are mostly governed by the Record Labels. Mp3 is presenting a whole new chapter in music, where the real artists in the world can be heard, and we're proud to be part of it!,
