The full five song EP “Drop That Needle” by the Dogmatics is now available on all popular streaming services.
Rum Bar Records is also selling a CD and sticker bundles alongside a limited edition Flexi disc for the track “Automat Kalashnikov” paired with the classic tune “You Say”.
Check out this thoughtful review of the EP from Lord Rutledge on their blog “Faster and Louder”:
Not content to be remembered for their old classics, The Dogmatics are well on their way to authoring a whole slew of new ones. This band honors the past but is not stuck in it. And as the garage/punk/rock and roll scene continues to flourish at the grass roots level, it’s a joy to see more and more people becoming hip to an eternal truth: The Dogmatics rule!
Lou from Rum Bar Records and Jerry from The Dogmatics with new CDs just arrived.
EP Released May 6, 2022
The Dogmatics current lineup of Jerry Lehane, Tom Long, Peter O’Halloran, Jimmy O’Halloran, and J. Young, perform live, write and record new material including the highly praised and enthusiastically received “She’s the one” 7inch vinyl & CD EP which came out in 2019 followed by the long awaited career retrospective full length “EST 81” released in 2021 on Rum Bar Records. 2022 The Dogmatics kicked off their campaign of brand new music with the revved up garage punk racer “Automat Kalashnikov” wowing fans and critics alike citing it as refreshing and classic as their heyday sound. You sure this was not recorded 35 years ago??!! Today we ask you to “Drop That Needle” and crank up 5 brand new classics rooted in Boston Garage Punk 101 from The Dogmatics.
