The Who: The Dose (Los Angeles, CA)
The What: File under, “Keep it simple”: Two guys hop in a 1965 Corvette Stingray, breeze around sunny Santa Monica, CA, chow down at Swingers diner, and just generally goof off all while the muscular, raw rock that they make acts as the soundtrack. So it goes for Indio Downey (vox, guitar) and Ralph Alexander (drums, bass) who formed as The Dose in 2014 and – according to Alexander – are on a mission to be the “biggest-sounding two-piece” that they can be. “Truth Lies Inside” is the second single from their self-titled EP (recorded in Nashville, TN at Welcome To 1979 and Jack White’s Third Man Records) and, with a sound drawing inspiration from rock classic, metallic, blues, grunge, and indie, that big sound they’re aspiring for is off to a good start.
The Where: The Dose are currently on the road supporting Bush and you can keep up with that and future tours via their official website, Facebook page and at @The_Dose_Band on Twitter.
