Automat Kalashnikov, the brand new single from The Dogmatics upcoming 2022 full length release... only on Rum Bar Records.
"It's the kind of punk rock tune that will hit you with a jolt of energy and then quickly get stuck in your head. Seriously: what an earworm!" - Lord Rutledge, Faster And Louder
"A thumping barroom brawler of a tune it is too." - RPM Online
"We assume it’s a new recording, but gee, it does sound like a song out of their first run in the 80’s. It’s just so …well, Dogmatics sounding!! It has Peter O’Halloran’s guttural sneering vocal on it. What have we done to deserve the Dogmatics?!" - Boston Groupie News
""Automat Kalashnikov" sounds like a lost Dogmatics classic from the heyday! You sure they didn't record this 35 years ago?" - Lord Rutledge
"It rocks! I agree with the review - sounds 100% vintage Dogs!" - Jay Savage
""Automat Kalashnikov" sounds like pure classic Dogmatics. Everything about it sounds like they just found a tape in a closet from their first run and decided to put it out. Even the name "Automat Kalashnikov" sounds like a song title from the early 80's. Most of the early Boston punk bands have slowed down or gotten a lot more polished if they're still making music, but not The Dogmatics. This is as wonderfully rough and raw as anything released during that era. And we mean that as the highest compliment." - If It's Too Loud
"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. Looking forward to new music and a brand new release in the new year.
