The Dialers - I've Had It
So we've all got those friends that lose their shit when they hear a great new band and if you're anything like me then you probably take great delight in finding those bands before they do then with a bit of a knowing smile you suggest they take a listen. Well guess what, one such friend is that bastion of good taste Josh Rutledge. You may read his excellent Faster and Louder blog (if not then you're missing out on an aural treasure trove). Anyway, I rather too smugly sent him a link to the debut album by Houston and Sacramento power pop four piece The Dialers and as I thought, shit was lost. I could see the dust cloud as he hastily scurried off to type out a glowing review http://fasterandlouderblog.blogspot.com/2019/07/the-dialers-self-titled.html
A couple of bits of info on the band. They'll be playing their first show in Texas later this week (quickly followed by their 2nd, 3rd and 4th) and you can check details here : https://www.facebook.com/The-Dialers-466836687029370/
Secondly, the album has been picked up by top label No Front Teeth and it's available on vinyl https://www.nofrontteeth.co.uk/ and digitally https://thedialers911.bandcamp.com/releases
As members of the band also featured in Boats! they've already featured on this blog 5 years ago (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2014/03/boats-smoking-is-cool.html).
The album? If you like catchy tunes with killer hooks, harmonies and enough balls to give them the Just Some Punk Songs stamp of approval then you can't go wrong. Check it out and hopefully you'll lose your shit too.
This song is called I've Had It...
