Prepare for a punk revelation! NYC punks Dog Date are dropping their new album, 'Zinger,' on April 12 via Pop Wig, the brainchild of Turnstile, Angel Du$t, and Trapped Under Ice members. This isn't your average punk project—it's Dylan Kennedy's brainchild, evolving from a solo venture to a five-piece, two-drummer force.
Starting in 2015 as Dylan's solo act, Dog Date now packs a dynamic punch with a live lineup. Their mission with 'Zinger'? To bring that live energy into the studio. The result? A garagey, 90-second ripper, "Nuff Said," accompanied by a scrappy animated video by Peter Wagner.
Why settle for one drummer when you can have two? Dog Date boldly embraces this setup, creating a sound akin to indie-punk with power-pop hooks. Think Japandroids but cranked up a notch. 'Zinger' is set to follow their 2021 album 'Child's Play' with a promise of pure punk excellence.
Imagine the rhythmic complexity two drummers bring to life. It's not new, but Dog Date makes it fresh. 'Zinger' is the evolution of a solo project into a punk saga, paying homage to trailblazers like Thee Oh Sees and King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard.
Director Peter Wagner's animated video for "Nuff Said" captures the chaos and charisma of the track. The Zinger tracklist and upcoming Dog Date shows are the cherries on top.
In the competitive NYC indie scene, Dog Date's emergence with a dual-drummer setup is a head-turner. 'Zinger' is a statement, an invitation to experience punk with a powerful rhythm section.
As 'Zinger' readies to hit eardrums, will it spark a dual-drummer revolution in indie-punk? Only time will tell. For now, "Nuff Said" invites you into Dog Date's electrifying world, redefining the indie music scene's landscape.
