Description

Drawing influences from such 90s stalwarts as Sleater- Kinney, Weezer, Helium and Breeders, the London- based trio have spent the last 3 years furiously honing their live craft and releasing a string of EPs and singles. Their later releases on labels including Fierce Panda and Alcopop! Records.

After a lineup change and the addition of Dean Smitten (guitar) in September last year, Doe finally got to work writing material with an album in mind. In March, armed with 10 new songs and bags full of snacks, they ventured to Greenmount Studios in Leeds with producer Matthew Johnson (Hookworms/Suburban Home). The result of that intense 5day pizzafueled recording session is the bands first full-length: Some Things Last Longer than You.

Some Things still comprises all the elements with which current listeners will be familiar. Dueling girl- boy vocals sit atop crunchy intertwining guitars and thundering drums, lyrical themes dart from scathing and contemptuous ( Monopoly, Sincere ) to thoughtful and introspective ( Anywhere, Before Her ) and despite the occasional whinge from frustrated bassists, Doe continue to prove with this album they are perfectly fine without one.

Produced by Matthew Johnson at Greenmount Studios, Leeds.
