Unholy Alliance – “No Dogs Allowed”

Released in late 2019 by Nunny Dave Records, No Dogs Allowed is a punishing, high-octane assault that bridges the gap between classic UK punk, thrash metal, and old-school hardcore. The album’s ultimate selling point and major “cool factor” stems from its lineup: Unholy Alliance is composed of seasoned veterans and former members of UK punk legends English Dogs, specifically featuring Adie Bailey on vocals. Instead of leaning entirely on nostalgia, the band injects a devastatingly modern fury into their sonic template, channeling a blistering, 100-mph momentum heavily reminiscent of Motörhead, Discharge, and the early crossover thrash movement. Recorded and mastered at Zoo Recording Studio, the album stands out because it completely avoids filler or bloated production, opting instead for raw, unrelenting aggression across short, punchy tracks. Highlights like the frantic opener Never Before, the biting street-level critique of Look What I Had for Tea, and the thunderous title track No Dogs Allowed showcase a band playing with the seasoned precision of veterans but the chaotic, fiery energy of a basement hardcore act.
