The Dog Faced Hermans was a five-piece anarcho-punk band, incorporating folk and noise influences as well as unorthodox instrumentation. The group formed in Scotland in the mid 1980s but later mostly operated in Amsterdam. The regular line-up featured Marion Coutts on vocals, trumpet and bells, Colin Mclean on bass, guitar and steel drum, Wilf Plum on drums, scrap metal, foghorn, Andy "Ex" Moor on guitar, viola and "hippo tube" and Gert-Jan for live sound.

Disbanded in 1995, members of the Dog Faced Hermans moved on to other notable projects including the Canadian ensemble Rhythm Activism and Holland's The Ex, with whom they collaborated and were closely affiliated.
