The Hate Become Wiredogs
by Tim Wenger
Many in Denver’s music community are familiar with alt-punk rockers The Hate. The group, formed in 2011, has recently undergone a change in name. “With the name change we just wanted something that represents who we are and how we got here,” says front man Dan Aid.. “Wiredogs is the term used for guys who work as electricians in the military. We had been throwing around a couple of ideas having to do with names for people that handle electricity, mostly because of Dan’s accident and we thought it might be cool to have a name that subtly alluded to that story.”
The group feels that the name represents the stories of the members more so than their original monicker. “We don’t talk about it ton, but we all have a lot of respect for where each other have come from” says Aid. “We’ve all been through traumatic shit in our lives, and so Wiredogs represents that bond and that mutual respect between all of us.”
The Wiredogs are releasing a new record, see our review on page 15.
