WHY NOBODY LISTENS TO PUNK MUSIC ANYMORE

I'd be willing to be a lot of money that this person is a NOFX fan. These were the people yelling at you to "stay the fuck home" during "two weeks to slow the spread." These are the people who reported you on social media during Joe Biden and Mark Zuckerberg's censorship of social media, and had you banned from groups you used to enjoy. These are the people who moderate the reddit subs you used to enjoy participating in until you were banned for having an opinion they disagreed with. These are the people getting paid to stand out in the street on behalf of George Soros to give a false appearance of rebellion in our country. These are the people calling you racist. These are the people cheering the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and who would've been cheering the assassination of Donald Trump, if he didn't just happen to turn his head at the right moment. Is it starting to make sense now? The modern Democratic party has been co-opted by foreign intere...

Album Review: Centerpiece EP by Dozer TX

Album: Centerpiece EP
Artist: Dozer TX
Release Date: March 10, 2017

Website/Social Media: Bandcamp, Facebook

Sounds Like: Pop-Punk / Emo /Alternative

Similar Artists: Handguns, Knuckle Puck, Heartsounds

Review: "Never be afraid to put your happiness above someone else's," explains Miles McMillen of Dozer TX. The band was formed in 2014 by former Handguns guitarist Kevin Cale and their sound is best described as aggressive emo pop-punk with a dash of alt rock. The quartet from San Angelo, Texas have just released their sophomore EP titled Centerpiece.




"If confidence is key, I'm locked out," sings McMillen on the album's first single "Fixated." "I'm a crowded room you don't wanna pass through, but you have to," this is a song about moving on and picking up the pieces. A running theme throughout the album.

The dual vocals of Cale & McMillen really shine on the album's title track "Centerpiece" and the duo does a solid job of capturing the struggle between feelings of anger and sadness experienced after a toxic relationship has come to an end. "Everything ends, one way or another."

Unfortunately the album also has to end. An ending which comes much too soon because this is a release that feels like a concept that could easily be a full length album as each track flows well into the next and just about every one could hold it's own as a single. 

Our Score: 9/10 - In an era of downloadable singles, Dozer TX provide a short but sweet selection of songs that make choosing just one an impossible decision. So you might as well choose 'em all.
