America – The Artist

America is a British-American rock band formed in London in 1970 by Dewey Bunnell, Dan Peek, and Gerry Beckley. The trio met as sons of US Air Force personnel stationed in London, where they began performing live. Achieving significant popularity in the 1970s, the trio was famous for its close vocal harmonies and light acoustic folk rock sound. The band released a string of hit albums and singles, many of which found airplay on pop/soft rock stations.The band came together shortly after the members’ graduation from high school in the late 1960s. In 1970, Peek joined the band, and they signed a record deal with Warner Bros. The following year, they released their self-titled debut album, which included the transatlantic hits “A Horse with No Name” and “I Need You”. Their second album, Homecoming (1972), included the single “Ventura Highway”. Over the next several years, the band continued to release hit songs, including “Muskrat Love” on Hat Trick (1973), “Tin Man” and “Lonely People” on Holiday (1974), and “Sister Golden Hair” and “Daisy Jane” on their 1975 record Hearts. The group continues to record material and tour regularly.

The American Bully XL Dog – The Shape

This record has been modelled into the silhoutte of an American Bully dog. The American Bully is a modern breed of dog that was developed as a companion dog, and originally standardised and recognised as a breed in 2004 by the American Bully Kennel Club (ABKC). Their published breed standard describes the dog as giving the “impression of great strength for its size”. There are several variants of the American Bully including the XL Bully, the Pocket Bully, the Micro Bully, and the Toadline Bully. Temperament in adult dogs is highly dependent on training, and the breed can be very demanding and needs to be properly trained. Due to the size, strength and aggression level of the American Bully, legal controls on the ownership of the breed exist in several countries. The XL Bully was responsible for over 50% of the deaths caused by dogs in the UK in the period between 2021 and 2023. The British government has committed to banning the breed by the end of 2023.
