Dr. Martino

Dr. Martino is a high-energy power pop trio influenced by 60s garage and surf, early punk, and alt-rock. Sharing songwriting duties, Amy Shaw and Simone Puleo compose sharp guitar and vocal-driven pop songs, propelled by the booming, wild drumming of Mike Kaminski. The music of Dr. Martino rifles through a gambit of genres, and the lyrics from song to song evoke a spectrum of emotions and moods, from humorous to melancholy, nostalgic to forward-looking.

Since 2013, Dr. Martino have made a name for themselves in Connecticut and across New England, sharing the stage with fellow CT acts such as <a href="spotify:artist:1GwYUZEi2ApTGZUeEXuujK" data-name="Big Fang">Big Fang</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0hK3GGX5WOZrZJ6nKvLe8K" data-name="Marvelous Liars">Marvelous Liars</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5O5DyGjfZuxnrgFYQBQCaw" data-name="Violent Mae">Violent Mae</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:73CSnAb0Rxupxp8r1HeM1p" data-name="Litvar">Litvar</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:2KD5VAWcQNx5TIZZvyCEJH" data-name="The Problem With Kids Today">The Problem With Kids Today</a> as well as opening for bands such as <a href="spotify:artist:0IlQRCafsMrd0QkTRBU6n0" data-name="Surfer Blood">Surfer Blood</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3cHTb2ZZ9kIZUrAG79nrcH" data-name="The Shackletons">The Shackletons</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:1TrzTUgWQlVRkoVGR0L7jy" data-name="The Dollyrots">The Dollyrots</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:7l8uFATeRemkWEA8Gn15YC" data-name="Downtown Boys">Downtown Boys</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3y6q4JBOyyoETYPw1yHYli" data-name="THICK">THICK</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0xK5OqvQKGC1nNtl2pIbwX" data-name="Bob Log III">Bob Log III</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:2Icsf5D1lAs2EFx6kggg5D" data-name="Jeffrey Lewis">Jeffrey Lewis</a>.
