Seasick Slide, the latest album by Dot Dash, is a refreshing blend of punk and power pop that showcases the band's talent for catchy hooks and energetic performances. From the opening track "Unfair Weather," the album sets the tone with driving guitars and a propulsive rhythm section that never lets up.
Throughout the album, Dot Dash displays a knack for crafting memorable melodies that stick in your head long after the music has stopped. The standout track "Gray Blue Green" is a perfect example, with its infectious chorus and swirling guitar lines that transport the listener to a sun-drenched beach.
While the band's influences are clear – from classic punk bands like The Clash and The Buzzcocks to power pop icons like Big Star and Cheap Trick – Dot Dash manages to make the sound their own, injecting their songs with a sense of urgency and passion that is impossible to ignore.
