ABOUT THE BAND

“The Philadelphia band’s albums have always sounded like they should be filed
alongside “old ones” like the Band, the Beach Boys, the Beatles…”

Rolling Stone

  

“Philadelphians Dr Dog buzz with ballsy enthusiasm…”

NME

  

Dr. Dog is a band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The current lineup consists of Toby Leaman (bass), Scott McMicken (lead guitar), Frank McElroy (rhythm guitar), Zach Miller (keyboard), and Juston Stens (drums). Lead vocal duties are shared between Leaman and McMicken, with all members contributing harmonies.

The band is strongly influenced by bands of the 1960s. They are often compared to The Beatles, The Band, and The Beach Boys. Their earlier recordings radiate a blissful lo-fi sound while more recent recordings are slightly more polished though none of the authentic rich sounds are lost.
