Explosive, blown-out NYC hardcore with a garage rock soul. High-voltage noise and distorted vocals for when the room needs to shake.
Dollhouse sounds like a live wire thrashing in a puddle. It is the sound of New York City's underground at its most feral, stripping away the polish of modern production in favor of a red-lined, distorted assault. The guitars are jagged and thin, cutting through a rhythm section that feels like it's constantly on the verge of derailment, while the vocals are delivered with a desperate, throat-shredding urgency.
What sets them apart is the lineage of their members, bringing a sophisticated sense of noise and texture to a genre that can often feel formulaic. There is a distinct 'garage' DNA here, but it's been mutated by the harshness of industrial and experimental scenes. It’s music that feels dangerous, not because of posturing, but because of the sheer sonic pressure and the unhinged quality of the performances.
Start with their 2019 Demo to hear the band at their most primitive and impactful. It captures the essence of their sound - short, sharp shocks of noise that bridge the gap between classic 80s hardcore and the grimiest corners of contemporary rock and roll.
