Gigs at the noted London punk mecca the Roxy Club led to the band's inclusion in filmmaker Don Letts' documentary of that scene, The Punk Rock Movie, and they eventually received a contract from Decca Records. Further top-notch singles followed in "Where Have All the Bootboys Gone" and "You're Ready Now," and they recorded their debut album, Do It Dog Style, in 1978. However, disagreements with Decca and the departure of vocalist Barrett, a key to the group's sound, combined to sabotage a promising career. Guitarist Billy Duffy was added, and future Smiths leader Morrissey was briefly considered as a vocalist before the group decided to continue with Rossi singing. This arrangement lasted only briefly, though, and Rossi, Bates, and Duffy re-christened themselves, first as Slaughter and then as the Studio Sweethearts. After this unit's breakup in the summer of 1979, there was a Slaughter reunion late in the year with Barrett making a token appearance before being replaced by former Nosebleeds singer Ed Banger (born Eddie Garrity). This aggregation released the album Bite Back (under the name Slaughter) in 1980 to no avail and broke up permanently in 1981.
Duffy went on to co-found Theatre of Hate and later found success in the Cult. In 1991, Wayne Barrett and Mick Rossi began writing songs together again, and the two cut an album called Shocking, credited to Slaughter & the Dogs. In 1996, Barrett and Rossi assembled a new edition of Slaughter & the Dogs to perform at Blackpool's vintage punk festival Holidays in the Sun, with Nigel Mead on bass and Noel Kay on drums. (Their set was later released on the album Cranked Up Really High in Blackpool 1996.) Jean Pierre Thollet would later replace Mead on bass, and the group would record a studio album in 2001, Beware Of… In 2016, the original lineup of Slaughter & the Dogs reunited for a brief tour, while Barrett and Rossi announced they were at work on a new studio album

Slaughter and the Dogs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Coming through once again with Oakcity on my back
One time for the fam and I'm kicking the facts
That's right motherfucker, Lansky is back
It's the jacking ass cracker, yea the cracker that jacks
Coming through once again with Oakcity on my back
Two time for the fans and I'm kicking the fact
That's right motherfucker, Lansky is back
Smoking on the good by the fucking O-Z
Fucking up your haters and you hoes that knows me
Repping for the South, I'm the man that owns these
Writing these words putting my life on the beat
As I'm blazing through these tracks like hippies on killer leaf
That's right motherfucker, I give you what you need
The purest fucking dope and I'm serving you fiends
As I bring more funky than the stains up in your draws
And I'm do it all legit, motherfuck the laws
Attitude and bad grammar, hitting hard like a hammer
Could give a fuck about the glamour, it's time you pussies scatter
Cause the Bound is back and the Glock is reloaded
Vicious so rabid and the status is quoted
So you better duck down, the Alpha Dog is coming
Cause you rappers on top is the ones that I'm gunning
It's the jacking ass cracker, yea the cracker that jacks
Coming through once again with Oakcity on my back
One time for the fam and I'm kicking the facts
That's right motherfucker, Lansky is back
It's the jacking ass cracker, yea the cracker that jacks
Coming through once again with Oakcity on my back
Two time for the fans and I'm kicking the fact
That's right motherfucker, Lansky is back
It's the Mr. Chuckster, the don't give a fuckster
Who's blowing more smoke than your broke down muffler
With my foot up on the gas and a scanner on my dash
I'm coming for that ass and your brains I'm about to smash
Cause I'm crushing all of those, who's tried to oppose
The Southern Explosion and raps overdose
I'm a rush in this game like ah bag of phetamines
The solution to your questions, I'm the end to your means
Been gone a few years, but guess who's back
With another hot album, to sell like crack
Swerving through the game, living life on the edge
The Alpha Dog standing strong when I'm put up to the test
For over 20 years, still perfecting my craft
If you haters can't swim, I suggest you get a raft
Cause I'm sick and so vicious, never fictitious
Man you know I'm fucking in this cause you M.C.s so delicious
It's the jacking ass cracker, yea the cracker that jacks
Coming through once again with Oakcity on my back
One time for the fam and I'm kicking the facts
That's right motherfucker, Lansky is back
It's the jacking ass cracker, yea the cracker that jacks
Coming through once again with Oakcity on my back
Two time for the fans and I'm kicking the fact
That's right motherfucker, Lansky is back
That's right motherfucker, Lansky is back
