"BOSTON'S MOST SUCCESSFUL PRACTITIONERS OF PUNKED OUT POP...." JONATHAN BABU - NORTHEAST PERFORMER MAGAZINE. EMO-PUNK? POP-PUNK? POWER-POP? GEEK-ROCK? INDIE-ROCK? ALTERNATIVE? In a world of increasingly meaningless buzzwords and stylistically stifling sub-genres, THE DUBNICKS' original brand of guitar-driven, hook-heavy, heartfelt, humorous and hypermelodic rock is both refreshingly unique and infectiously familiar. THE DUBNICKS manage to transcend the confining constrictions of modern rock categories while appealing to the song-lover in all of us. To put it simply, THE DUBNICKS are THE DUBNICKS - and they rock. Since releasing their debut 4 song E.P., SONGS ABOUT YOU, In March of 1999, THE DUBNICKS have appeared on the cover of NORTHEAST PERFORMER MAGAZINE, been named one of the TOP TEN BOSTON BANDS OF '99 by William Marbles of THE NOISE, been selected to play the Boston stop of THE WARPED TOUR 2000 (which also featured heavyweights like GREEN DAY, MXPX, NOFX & THE MIGHTY MIGHTY BOSSTONES), achieved SEMI-FINALIST STATUS IN THE WBCN ROCK 'N' ROLL RUMBLE 2000, won honorable mention in the international U.S.A. SONGWRITING COMPETITION, received overwhelmingly positive regional and national press (PERFORMER, THE NOISE, LOLLIPOP, BOSTON SOUNDCHECK, YOURSOUND.COM), received consistent airplay on regional commercial and college stations (WBCN, WERS, WMWM, WAAF, WFNX, etc.), been featured on PERFORMER MAGAZINE/CURVE OF THE EARTH'S COMPILATION, PERFORMER 2000: BEST OF THE NORTHEAST, been a featured artist on both FARMCLUB.COM and GARAGEBAND.COM and played countless shows in venues all over the New Hampshire/Massachusetts area with tons of national and regional acts. THE DUBNICKS have managed to do all of this in true DIY fashion, without the aid of a manager, publicist or booking agent. Now THE DUBNICKS (singer/guitarist/songwriter/producer - Phil Dubnick, bassist - Wes Wingate, and new drummer - Jason O'Donnell) are preparing to unleash their first full-length cd, HOW TO BE COOL, in early 2001. From the infectious, unbridled energy and emotion of the opening track, SURGERY to the final ringing chord of GOODNIGHT, HOW TO BE COOL is everything a great record should be: all rock, no filler. Catchier than the Ebola virus and stickier than the gum on the sole of your shoe, this record is sure to make the top ten lists of critics and music fans alike. Skeptical?
