My Son The Doctor's two minute post punk proggy rocker "Dancing In Your Basement" is on replay

There is one thing seriously wrong with Bushwick, Brooklyn's My Son The Doctor's power post punker Dancing In Your Basement... it is too damn short. Still, come to think of it, I would rather have a two minute divergent post punk rocker with proto punk affectations full of jagged proggy musical eruptions and a seriously strident vocal aesthetic (in an askew Stephen Malkmus sort of way) then a 7 minute tired southern rock ballad. Love this sound.

“We wanted Dancing In Your Basement to be the first song released off the EP because honestly we think it rips the hardest, and we want people stoked,” said drummer John Mason. “We’re beyond excited to be working with Paper Moon on this record, as well as our good friends over at Huntsville Records where we recorded.” 

“We also loved that there was a bass solo”, said bassist Matt Nitzberg, “which we should honestly have more of.”


My Son The Doctor is Brian Hemmert (vocals), Joel Kalow (guitar), John Mason (drums), and Matt Nitzberg (bass).  

Their first EP, "Dad Time", comes out end of May, 2020.

THE FACTS AS WE KNOW THEM - PRESS NOTES:

My Son The Doctor is a pent up Bushwick, Brooklyn indie rock band. Like Spoon, but younger and hotter, the 4-some consists of Brian Hemmert (vocals), Joel Kalow (guitar), John Mason (drums), and Matt Nitzberg (bass). When they’re not rocking, they’re busy being the best grandsons money can buy. Their first EP, Dad Time, comes out end of May, 2020.

Debut Single "Dancing In Your Basement" will be released on Paper Moon Records on March 27th, 2020.

“We wanted Dancing In Your Basement to be the first song released off the EP because honestly we think it rips the hardest, and we want people stoked,” said drummer John Mason. “We’re beyond excited to be working with Paper Moon on this record, as well as our good friends over at Huntsville Records where we recorded.”

“We also loved that there was a bass solo”, said bassist Matt Nitzberg, “which we should honestly have more of.”
