Dosser have been honing their style of immersive, driving rock music since 2018, and in 2023 released their first LP, Violent Picture/Violent Sound. After meeting in the Baltimore DIY scene, guitarists Will Teague and Bret Lanahan met with drummer Max Detrich and bassist Eric Dudley to create a tonally rich rock band pulling from shared influences such as Heatmiser, Failure, HUM, and Shiner.
With the release of 2020’s Brainscan EP, Dosser introduced themselves to Baltimore as new channelers of powerful, creative alt-rock born of the likes of Jawbox, exemplified by Lanahan and Teague’s oscillations of soft-spoken earworms and catchy sing-a-long choruses. 2021 saw the Brainscan EP re-released through Portland label Really Rad Records, who would also go on to release Violent Picture/Violent Sound two years later. Dosser supported screamo greats Pianos Become the Teeth on their album release tour in 2022 and toured extensively surrounding their sets at The Fest and Furnace Fest. Currently, Dosser is preparing to tour Europe leading up to their showcase at Farewell Youth Fest and scheduled to record a new album with Jon Markson (Drug Church, Drain, Koyo) that will come out later this year.
