Dr. Dog - “America’s Next Great Band”

July 18, 2008

Dr. Dog are quite the busy boys these days. They stopped by Late Night with Conan O’Brien last night to wow the crowd with The Old Days from the very anticipated Fate (Park The Van). Check out the performance here. They will also be stopping by Morning Becomes Eclectic on KCRW on August 8th to play a 30 min. set. They were Band of the Day on Spin.com yesterday too. The buzz is definitely ear-ringing about Fate which officially drops on Tuesday, but why wait? Dr. Dog’s Fate is available today for your next project in HANK™. Look below to see what the press is saying about our beloved Dr. Dog:

“America’s next great band” - Relix Magazine

“93%” - Filter Magazine

“a stunning addition to the groups impeccable groove-oriented stockpile” - Alternative Press

“so instantly pleasing” - Paste Magazine

“mining the burn-out melancholia of late Beatles and then distilling it to perfection” - Under the Radar

“their psychedelic pop hops onto your lap like a puppy–frisky, desperate to be liked, and pretty entertaining - Blender

“Philly misfits offer a wickedly soulful meditation on FATE” - Esquire
