Dot Dash is a four-piece band (two guitars, bass and drums) from Washington D.C.
Guitarist/singer Terry Banks and bassist Hunter Bennett were in punky power poppers Julie Ocean.
Before that, Terry was in The Saturday People (Slumberland label), Tree Fort Angst (Bus Stop label), Glo-Worm (K Records), and St. Christopher.
Guitarist Bill Crandall was in the mod/pop band Modest Proposal.
Drummer Danny Ingram began musical life in early Dischord-label punks Youth Brigade before moving on to Strange Boutique and, later, U.K. guitar-wranglers Swervedriver.

Regular visitors may recall reviewed their last LP in 2011, so I was delighted to receive this new CD yesterday courtesy of Terry.
I've had it on in the car for the last 24 hours or so & rate this a lot. The sound / production has improved significantly compared to its predecessor & there are some great tracks on here. (PS I had an irate e-mail from the 1st producer after last year's review !!!)
Some well crafted songs & nifty playing on here.... my current faves are "La La Land" (some nice feedback & a tempo change towards the coda) & "The Past Is Another Country". I am very impressed with bassist Hunter... solid player without resorting to unnecessary flashiness. Top man...
Have a listen, see what you think & buy / download the album. Contact details are above & it can be accessed via Amazon, iTunes & eMusic as well...
