The new release showcases the distinctive appeal and style of the emerging Boston band
With the release of their personality-filled and engrossing debut single ‘The Munchies’, emerging Boston alternative band NOTADOG has established themselves as a multi-faceted and creative addition to the scene in rousing fashion.
The track does a really great job of melding fun and upbeat instrumentation with lyrics that are rooted in darker and murkier places, exploring themes like addiction, stagnation, and struggling with a lack of purpose or direction. The personable and almost conversational tone of the vocals and the writing draws obvious parallels to similarly likeable bands like Modern Baseball and The Front Bottoms, but there is more than enough to make the band feel distinctive and stand up on their own merit, with lyrics and themes that are packed full of a real bite that feels both deeply personal and universal in its relatable appeal.
