Once finished, the album was titled Play Games , and released on July 2, 1996. The album took the band from their hardcore roots to a distinctly more pop sound. The single ” Isms ” peaked at No. 43 on the UK Singles Chart. With Play Games released, Dog Eat Dog returned to touring. This time, the band traveled to many countries for the first time. Full tours of Asia, South America, Greece, and Spain followed. The band also shared stages with acts such as Rage Against the Machine , Sepultura , Ozzy Osbourne , Kiss , and Metallica . After playing several West Coast shows with No Doubt , a friendship between the two bands began. Dog Eat Dog later appeared as an opening act when No Doubt came to New York City to film concert footage at The Roseland Ballroom for use in the ” Don’t Speak ” video. Dog Eat Dog soon found themselves playing festivals such as Donington, Reading, PinkPop, and Roskilde.
