Man Dicktations make a lot of noise! But listen closely; they also have quite an ear for melody. This is super-fuzzed out garage punk a la Black Lips, with the hooky stylings of Pavement. Think Weezer played full blast on blown out speakers.
Dicktations have their first full length record H*CKHOUND, coming out on tape via King Pizza Records on December 13th, but you can check them out below with their brand new video.
