Dog Date have such sights to show you. Controlled chaos is the name of the game for the New York City- based five-piece-heavy on the latter and light on the former. Powered by two guitars, bass, and not one, but two drummers, Dog Date are a rock & roll force to be reckoned with, and their sophomore full-length, Zinger, is a technicolor blast of distortion and hooks that's sure to put a smile on your face. Beginning in 2015 as the home recording project of guitarist/vocalist Dylan Kennedy, Dog Date first came up playing and recording in basements around New Jersey, releasing a handful of demo cassettes leading up to 2019's Hellpod tape which caught the attention of Baltimore's Pop Wig Records. Soon Malcolm Spraggs Hoyt (guitar), Leo Didkovsky (drums), and Kristian Pitaccio (drums) were brought on to flesh out the live band, and the group began to gain a reputation for their uniquely pummeling dual- drummer attack and ripping guitars. 2021 saw the release of Dog Date's debut LP Child's Play and their lineup solidifed with the addition of Andy Stoffo on bass.
