Adultery was released in 2006 through Rotten Records, as their 6th studio album (5th, if you don't include the extremely limited release of Erotic Massage and their live album, The City is Alive Tonight). Baltimore’s Dog Fashion Disco call it “Movie Metal” and have not only outdone themselves, but have created a concept record to fold, spindle, and mutilate all of the aural senses. Adultery delves into the life of an ordinary suburban family man and walks you through his folding to his own dark demons. Lock Quentin Tarantino, Charles Bukowski and Humphrey Bogart in a room with guitars, drums and a few bottles of Absinthe and what you would find closely resembles the genius of Adultery.
Dog Fashion Disco released a statement on their myspace on the 5th Of December 2006, stating that they were calling the end of their run. Their "final" show was played on January 13, 2007, although since then they have "reunited" on multiple occasions for Polkadot Cadaver shows to play some songs.
Todd Smith, Jasan Stepp and John Ensminger of Dog Fashion Disco moved onto their project Polkadot Cadaver, and have released one album and have another one in the works thus far. The style of Polkadot Cadaver is similar to DFD in many ways.
In 2014, DFD decided that being broken up was dumb, and started an Indiegogo campaign to raise money for a new album. The fans ponied up in a big way, and the band raised just over $85,000. With that amount of money being raised, DFD are able to record 2 albums, make a big budget video, and do a small tour of the U.K., for the first time in a long while. The new album, Sweet Nothings, is being released July 22nd, 2014 via Rotten Records.
Their latest album is 'Experiments in Embryos', released July 7th, 2018, through RazorToWrist is available through the Apple music, Spotify, Amazon, and iTunes.

Dog Fashion Disco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'll show you mine
dial tone and ringin
Connect and on
I'm on the hotline
And talking now
So shut your mouth
And that someone is you
Paint brush strokin
In the sinful art of lust
The picture becomes clear
No time to think twice
No time for regret
And one things for sure
This one's for me
I'm falling in love
With the thrill of the kill
And at this masquerade
You're the clown and criminal
I will be the devil
In your land of make believe
Tell me how the view is
Down there on your knees
As you beg and plead
knee deep in the hot wax
All stuck in the quicksand
Sexual slave
You've learned your lessons well
Don't pause for applause
My bloody valentine
With a slip of the tongue
I'm on the inside
Snap the neck of slef control
And it breaks like prison bread
Straightjacket seduction
It whipsers like the voice in your ear
You opened up the flood gates
And I'm drowning in your love
You opened up the flood gates
Its to late to turn back
I'm falling in love
With the thrill of the kill
And at this masquerade
You're the clown and criminal
I will be the devil
In your land of make believe
Tell me how the view is
Down there on your knees
On your knees
adultery
I have become a danger to myself
A danger to myself
Now that I'm in the palm of your hand
The palm of your hand
I have betrayed my family
Betrayed my family
Committed in sin adultery
And I can't stop now
I can't stop now
I'm falling in love
With the thrill of the kill
And at this masquerade
You're the clown and criminal
I will be the devil
In your land of make believe
Tell me how the view is
Down there on your knees
On your knees
The lyrics to Dog Fashion Disco's song Adultery express a person's descent into the temptation of adultery. The opening lines, "show me yours and I'll show you mine," is a clear indication of the action that will follow. The back and forth of the dial tone and ringing represents the buildup of tension and anticipation, leading to the moment of connection. The singer is speaking to someone on the hotline, knowing exactly what they want, and that someone is the other person on the line. Painting strokes that represent lust, the picture of the person they desire becomes clear, and there is no time for regrets.
The lyrics about being knee-deep in hot wax and stuck in quicksand represent a person who is a slave to the sexual desires of their partner. They have learned their lessons well and do not pause for applause, becoming a bloody valentine. The thrill of the kill seduces the singer, who has become a danger to themselves, in the palm of the other person's hand. They have betrayed their family and committed adultery, and they cannot stop now.
