Low Dose by Low Dose
Built from the ashes of a marriage gone sour, Philadelphia's LOW DOSE formed as an exercise in catharsis. Featuring the final lineup of cult noise-rock workhorses Fight Amp with the addition of vocalist Itarya Rosenberg of the late Legendary Divorce, LOW DOSE play heavy, grunge-tinged punk that is as visceral as it is infectious. Across their 35 minute, self-titled debut LP, the quartet bleed out ten emotionally fierce tracks, which deliver a loud/quiet/loud canvas for Rosenberg’s lyrics to lay bare the heartbreak and raw nerves of a broken relationship amidst rumbling bass, screeching guitar tones and dynamic drums that together signal the end of the world. LOW DOSE will surely hit all the right notes for those who enjoy the more melodic side of noise rock —especially fans of Metz, Uwound, Slint and early PJ Harvey.
"Philadelphia-based Low Dose’s self-titled album is a hard-hitting grunge album that feels at once straight out of the nineties and of an entirely new ilk."

"Low Dose’s refreshing debut, self-titled album contorts with emotional and musical harshness while letting the listener see a light at the end of a treacherous tunnel they might be all too familiar with."

"If you dig the brutal heaviness of 90s post-grunge and post-hardcore — think Mudhoney as much as L7, The Distillers as much as At The Drive-in — you’ll find much to like sonically in this ten-song set."
