Engineered & mixed in Seattle by Cameron Heck and mastered by Greg Obis (MJ Lenderman, Wishy, Tim Heidecker), it’s a collection of four upbeat, driving tracks that feature buoyant vocal melodies anchored by thick, crunchy guitar riffs. For a preview of the EP, you can stream the pop-infused lead single “Rocket.”
Featuring members of essential Pacific Northwest punk and hardcore acts — including Criminal Code, Nudes, and Bricklayer — Sun Spots either writes pop songs for hardcore fans or hardcore songs for pop fans, depending on your perspective. Their first new release since 2023, Dog is Calling showcases the band’s affinity for the Big Muff crunch of classic grunge, pairing it with bright, hooky melodies that cut through the noise like a knife.
Dog is Calling is currently available for pre-order on Bandcamp.
