Label: Iodine Recordings

Released 8/29/2025

The Dogs of Hope is a powerful new compilation from Iodine Recordings and Tom Bejgrowicz, created to raise critical funds for the Randolph County Animal Shelter in rural Alabama—a no-kill, privately run facility that’s saved thousands of animal lives despite operating without public funding or county support. Featuring new or previously unreleased music from a genre-defining lineup—Killswitch Engage, Deadguy, Snapcase, Orange 9mm, and more—The Dogs of Hope unites heavyweights from across the hardcore and punk scenes in support of an urgent cause. Of the 14 tracks, 13 are exclusive to this release, with one previously available only in Japan. Many were created specifically for this project, underscoring the deep ties between independent music and community care. Spearheaded and designed by longtime industry veteran Tom Bejgrowicz, whose diverse background includes A&R, marketing, and design work for Quicksand, The Beastie Boys and Johnny Cash and more, the project is co-produced by Iodine Recordings mastered by Jack Shirley (Deafheaven, Quicksand, Joyce Manor), with cover art by Jeremy Dean (Green Day, The Rolling Stones, The Bronx). 100% of net profits from physical and digital sales go directly to the Randolph County Animal Shelter in Wedowee, AL, where a small team faces overwhelming need every day in a region with no public animal control or spay/neuter programs. The shelter has operated at full capacity since 2021—and continues to do life-saving work against long odds.
