How about another great new song from my favorite band to ever come out of Boston! "Drop That Needle" is the brand-new single from the legendary Dogmatics -- the leadoff track from the forthcoming CD EP of the same name. Just like the previous teaser single "Automat Kalashnikov", "Drop That Needle" finds this venerable band in vintage form. So much has changed in the world over the past four decades, but The Dogmatics still sound like The Dogmatics! In contrast to the pure punk rock energy of "Automat Kalashnikov", "Drop That Needle" is the ultimate garage rocker. It's two minutes and 40 seconds of perfect rock and roll celebrating the joy of listening to vinyl records. It's full of shout-outs to musical greats from Boston and beyond...a couple of whom even lend their talents on backing vocals! Scott Hudson, who has been a fan of this band from the beginning, was so stoked on this song that he built an entire broadcast of The Ledge in celebration. The Ledge episode #512, "Drop That Needle, features 34 songs about buying, collecting, and listening to records. If there's one singular passion that just about everyone reading this shares, this would be it! And while the irony about "Drop That Needle" is that it's not coming out on a 45 (yet!), you can order the "Automat Kalashnikov" single on flexi vinyl! The full Drop That Needle EP releases in May on Rum Bar Records, and I cannot wait!
I need this song on vinyl...now! Love the Dogmatics
