DR. DOG TO RELEASE FOUR NEW SONGS
Philadelphia-based rock and roll band Dr. Dog will be offering four new songs for free download to their fans beginning today. The band recently recorded a brand new batch of songs after spending the last five months traveling and performing in support of their acclaimed new album Shame, Shame. The four songs will also be available on a gatefold double seven-inch vinyl to be sold exclusively at venues on the upcoming fall tour.
Dr. Dog will release the first track today (September 7th) via their Facebook page (facebook.com/drdog) and additional tracks in the coming month. Fans can pick up the exclusive vinyl 7″ on the upcoming tour. Tour dates below.
Inspired by songwriter/guitarist Scott McMicken’s involvement and experience with Weathervane Music (weathervanemusic.org); a non-profit that creates community, opportunity and resources for independent musicians, Dr. Dog recorded and mixed four new songs in eight days. The resulting recordings offer a rollicking snapshot of a premier rock band in fighting shape from months of touring, joyfully rediscovering and further exploring their distinctive sound
The band’s latest album Shame, Shame debuted on the Billboard Top 50, and Rolling Stone heralded the group as “an unusually hook-savvy indie band whose taut, touching songs about friendship (“Jackie Wants a Black Eye”) and life on the road (“Station”) begin as straight pop rock and take thrilling turns into psychedelia.” The band won over audiences with exhilarating performances on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson and Jimmy Kimmel Live! as well as two sold-out headlining tours and celebrated appearances at several prominent summer festivals including Bonnaroo and Sasquatch.
