Dauber, a trio from Hudson, New York, features Mike Abbate (Screaming Females) on guitar and vocals alongside Jenna Fairey on drums and Quinn Murphy on bass. Falling Down, the band's debut album, is out now on Dromedary Records, Recess Records, and State Champion Records. This is the kind of record that we need more of these days. The band bangs out one track after another of raw & energetic melodic punk. There's nothing fancy going on here — just honest, hard-hitting punk rock with thoughtful (and sometimes very bleak) lyrics and hooks for days. Vibe-wise, I'm reminded of '80s and '90s melodic punk, but Dauber is no retro act. The songwriting is solid as hell, and the playing is tight and punchy. This, my friends, is the sound of a band playing its guts out. And from start to finish, the songs deliver the goods. If you dig old school melodic punk or rough-around-the-edges modern pop-punk, you need some Dauber in your life.
