Tom Doz

Every morning I wake up and take a dull pencil to the dimple of my chin to ensure that it stays deep enough to utilize for everyday activities well into my old age. I call it shaping for the future. These activities include opening beer bottles, getting deep into those back massaging pressure points and storing Monopoly pieces. I also listen to music. I love music. Especially music that Employee hates.

SYFFAList - February 2016

Tom Doz | March 8, 2016
Yeah....I know it's a week late, but uhhhh. Um. The leap year fucked me all up.  These songs are all much better than that excuse.    PURPLES - Big Opportunity: This groove is so tight. Then it sounds like the band broke into the studio late...

Living Hour - Living Hour

Tom Doz | March 1, 2016
Oh, fuck off. That's what I think when I see that something sent to me has at least 2 of the buzzwords: Chill Wave, Dream Pop, Shoegaze, Ethereal, Psyche-steamy, Moody-mellow, Lava-lampy etc.  What are you? Fucking Ben and Jerry's flavors?  Why do you need...

One Song: Living Hour - Seagull

Tom Doz | February 22, 2016
You know when you reach 'that moment' of a song? An emotional climax that gets your undercarriage prickly like a porcupine and it triggers a surge of endorphins all the way to your fingertips? ...the rest of the song could blow, but you listen anyway because...

Radiation City - Synesthetica

Tom Doz | February 16, 2016
Radiation City has always had a retro feel to their songs, but I've always associated it with an early-60's life that's so perfect it's ironically disconcerting. Kind of like that movie Pleasantville when everybody else is in color except for...

One Song: Caveman - Never Going Back

Tom Doz | February 9, 2016
Holy balls orbiting around a black pepper steak topped with truffle sauce. Caveman has a new song out: 'Never Going Back'. I only write about bands and songs I love, so naturally, I always sound excited about music. BUT this makes me really,...

Tom's SYFFAList - January 2016

Tom Doz | January 28, 2016
All you holy rollers and rock n' rollers. All you Bro's, Ho's and MoFo's. All you shoe gazers, Major Lazers and grass grazers.  All you hipsters and sipsters.....sippin' from that indie Kool-Aid. That blue Kool-Aid that doesn't make you feel blue...

One Song: Radiation City - Juicy

Tom Doz | January 22, 2016
Radiation City is easily one of my favorite bands of the SYFFAL era. Their music must have a spell over me because the vocals are so soft and chilling....specifically the female vocals. And while the band consists of two heterosexual couples...

Tiger Waves - Tippy Beach

Tom Doz | January 20, 2016
Tiger Waves.... These trippy assholes from Austin submitted some music to us in October, but only one killer track called 'In Retrograde'. I e-mailed them back and told them that I'll publish the track, but warned them: "don't play 'just the...

One Song: Dr. Dog - Bring My Baby Back

Tom Doz | January 7, 2016
This is the type of song that inspired Adam Sandler to stick a shampoo bottle in and out of his ass at a medium pace. This shit is perfectly medium. Right now, on my third listen, my boner is ticking like a metronome synched at 90 bpm.  It's my bonernome, bro...

Lady Lamb The Bee Keeper - After

Tom Doz | December 30, 2015
This is the time of year that I review something I've completely missed. And I missed this one because I wasn't listening to people. Our photographer Tif told me about Lady Lamb a while ago and the only reason I remember this convo was because I said that...
