Dr. Dog: The Second Coming of the Beatles?
04.08.2008
I first discovered Dr. Dog when I called them out as a Best of SWSX 2005.
Even back then, I thought they sounded a lot like the Beatles.
Rolling Stone agrees stating,
"The Philly quintet's low-fi, throwback sound -- cf. Beatles, Beach Boys, Chicago -- is still in effect. But the more you listen, the less
Dr. Dog's influences seem to matter, since the songs are so damn likable."
Regardless of who they sound like, they've been enjoying consitent plays on WERS since early last year. Songs like Keep a Friend and From drove a 33-week play high last week, which is impressive considering it was "Members Madness" with considerably less total songs per day.
