If It's Too Loud...

Photo by Andrew Northrop It's been a couple of years since we heard new music from London's Doe, but we currently have a new single, "Heated." The new song keeps up the heavily 90's influenced sound that made us adore Doe in 2016. It still has the classic loud/quiet/loud set up with verses just barely above a whisper and a loud, clanging chorus. But there is something smoother with "Heated." It has a more mature and less bratty sound. Doe has definitely grown as a band and this song is a huge step forward. Instead of a punk song, they have released a single that is just shy of being an anthem. It still has guitars that don't sound quite right and parts that stumble around, but that's part of the charm of indie rock.  You can watch the video for "Heated" below. Grow Into It , the new album from Doe, will be out September 28 on Big Scary Monsters in Europe and Topshelf Records in the US. For more on Doe, check them out on Facebook ...

Musically, "Last Ditch" is pretty straightforward noisy but poppy indie rock. Nicola Leel's vocals are what truly set this song apart. While the verses are quite mellow and almost spoken, the chorus is shout-singed at the top of her lungs with almost no respect for melody. But it works beautifully in its abrasiveness.  Doe's debut full length, Some Things Last Longer Than You , is due out September 9 on Old Flame. You can watch the video for "Last Ditch" below.

Photo by Emma Garland Based in London, Doe draw heavily from their 90s influences such as Sleater-Kinney and Weezer. The band formed in 2013 when Nicola Leel and Jake Popyura met through a classified ad (which I don't think has happened since 1996) and bonded over a love of horror films. After releasing various singles and EPs, and expanding to a three piece, Doe are set to release their debut album. "Sincere" is such an homage to the mid-90s you'll think it's some obscure song you heard on a CMJ  sampler. It's pure 90s indie rock tinged with just the slightest hint of punk. Doe's debut album, Some Things Last Longer Than You, will be released on September 9 via Old Flame Records. For more information on Doe, check out their official website .
