A great way to start off the new year would be with new music from Washington D.C. post punk band Dot Dash. And we are in luck as the band has offered up a brand new song titled "Hands Of Time" from their latest album Half Remembered Dream. As a bonus they are giving away this track plus two songs from their other albums. Check out " Hands of Time", "La--La Land" and "Tragedy/Destiny" below and/or go to their bandcamp to download the tracks.
Dot Dash's albums Half Remembered Dream, Winter Garden Light and park>flame>ember>ash are all available now on Canadian label The Beautiful Music.
Washington D.C. post punk band Dot Dash are back with a new song and accompanying music video. "A Light in the Distance" is a raw punk song with a sound that harkens back to the late seventies and early 80's when bands like The Stranglers, The Buzzcocks and Wire ruled Britain's indie air waves. Watch a live performance of the song and then head on over to Dot Dash's bandcamp to download the track for free.
"A Light in the Distance" is taken from the album Half-Remembered Dream which is out now via Ottawa label The Beautiful Music.
Rainy night here in Toronto. Figured it would be a good time to post the latest song from Washington post punk band Dot Dash which is titled appropriately enough Shouting in the Rain. We first told you about Dot Dash back in October when they released the song and video for The Past is Another Country.
Both songs are available on their new album Winter Garden Light. The CD is available at the band's Canadian record label, The Beautiful Music, or you can download from iTunes.
If you want to learn more about the band there is a great interview with them over at The Vinyl District blog.
Dot Dash is an indie band from Washington DC who make some great post punk pop music. The members of the four piece band are all veterans of the indie scene, including guitarist Terry Banks who was in the Slumberland band The Saturday People and drummer Danny Ingram who did stints in both Youth Brigade and Swervedriver.
The band recently released their second album Winter Garden Light on Ottawa label The Beautiful Music. They have been working hard to get some attention and have played a lot of shows with a lot of veteran bands including The Drums, Allo Darlin' and The Chameleons which is perfect because their sound is similar to those bands. They have also been compared to the dB's, The Jam and Wire (Wire has a song called Dot Dash) and their new LP is reflective of that. You can stream the full album on Bandcamp.
Dot Dash also just dropped a brand new video for their single The Past is Another Country. The energetic track is two minutes of intensive, melodic, poppy, post punk and reminds me of the 80's band Teardrop Explodes. The video features some dude washing the window of someone's apartment which could of easily have been shot in my condo. Not sure if this guy knew he was being filmed. Watch and listen below.
