about

"Drop that needle is an instant garage rock classic. Among the finest songs the legendary Dogmatics have ever released. These Boston boys prove once again that they have still got it!" - Muck, Muck and the Mires

"It's the ultimate anthem for us longtime punk and roll record collectors!!! Thank you!" - Scott Hudson, The Ledge

"Who let the dogs out! Woof." - Bill Kelly's Blackhole Bandstand

"Oooooo! I dig it!" - Palmyra Delran

"The Dogmatics have been at it making great rock n roll for awhile now. The passion is clearly still there on the latest single "Drop That Needle". A brand new full length is due out in May on Rum Bar Records, until it arrives crank up the newest single and spin those records!!" - Skybar Rising, WMFO

" 'Treat' yourself and blast this new Dogmatics release out of your speakers large and small! 'Drop That Needle' repeatedly on this one! Tape a stack of quarters to the tone arm until (the vinyl) peels like an apple! This one has enough early garage sound and swagger, mixed with some 'competitive lyrics' to stand the test of time! Never any Obedience Training for these Dogs!" - "Boris" Boden (aka 'The Secret Weapon' on Woody Radio)

"When it comes to all the fabled punk rock scenes of "back in the day", I'd probably take Boston over New York, Detroit, Chicago, San Francisco, or even L.A. And my favorite Boston band, by far, would have to be the Dogmatics. To me, they're pretty much the definitive Boston garage/punk band." - Faster And Louder

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.
