Backyard Dog
British musical duo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Backyard Dog is a musical duo from Manchester,[1] consisting of Aniff Akinola and Lloyd Hanley.[3] The name "backyard dog" comes from when Akinola booted Hanley out of his recording studio, culminating in him saying "you can't treat me like this, you're treating me like a backyard dog".[2]
