Dog Company Singer Joe Blow Finds Toughness in Mid-Tempo Punk.
Dog Company has been a part of the Dallas punk scene since 2004, but the band's singer Joe Blow has been there since the '80s.It’s a Monday night, and Joe Blow, from the longstanding Dallas punk band Dog Company, is by an old jukebox toward the back of Dan’s Silverleaf in Denton, admiring the selection of classic country and rockabilly songs.
Underneath Blow’s army-green jacket, lined tastefully with punk pins and patches, he wears a black shirt with white block letters that read simply “Charles Bronson,” a shirt Blow made for himself using supplies he gathered from Hobby Lobby. “I don't get in fights, my dad's not a fighter, but tough guys have always appealed to me since I was a kid,” he says. “I like those kinds of movies and the swagger of a tough guy, as long as he's not a jerk about it. You know, there's a way to be like a macho man and not an ass.”last December, Blow and the rest of Dog Company wanted to put their best boot forward in showcasing what it means to be tough, working-class punks acting as their brothers’ keeper.
For someone who claims not to be a tough guy, Blow has a lot of street cred from his history in the Dallas punk scene, which he has been a part of since the mid-'80s. Blow first played with a band called Actions Without Logic for nine months before the band fizzled out, giving way to Riot Squad, which would eventually be renamed The Staggers.
