Two versions of the band exist, the punk and metal crossover band featuring original drummer Andrew "Pinch" Pinching and second-era members Graham "Gizz" Butt and Adie Bailey and a punk-based one featuring original vocalist Pete "Wakey" Wakefield.
Personnel changes ensued after the debut album emerged with vocalist Wakey departing to be replaced by ex-Ultraviolent singer Ade Bailey.
In 1993, Pinch and Gizz Butt reformed English Dogs with "Mad Punx" vocalist Wakey and Future Damned bassist Stuart West, signed to German label, Impact Records, and released Bow To None, Wakey left shortly after with him being replaced by Stuart "Stu-Pid" Jones for the 1995 five-track EP, What a Wonderful Feeling... ...To Be Fucked By Everyone, on Retch Records.
They released the 16-track crossover album, All the World's a Rage, also on Impact records, and toured the UK, Germany, Austria and Switzerland many times.
[citation needed] Gizz Butt replaced Jim Davies of Pitchshifter as the live guitarist for The Prodigy, which in turn revitalized interest in English Dogs and prompted a re-release of Where Legend Began.
[citation needed] Gizz also announced the formation of a new act Janus Stark the same year recording with producer Terry Thomas.
[citation needed] In 2011, three original members of the 1984 crossover line up announced they were going to reform to perform the Forward into Battle and To the Ends of the Earth releases in their entirety.
