Formed in 1981 and still writing and performing new music today, The Dogmatics is a Boston-area band known for its pioneering garage rock sound, including punk and rockabilly elements. In the 1980s, they released one single and two albums and toured with renowned acts such as The Bangles, The Fleshtones, The Replacements, and Beastie Boys. Multiple bands, including The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, have covered their songs.
After the tragic loss of founding member and bassist Paul O’Halloran in 1986, the band disbanded for some time. However, they never lost their friendship or love for playing together, and in the following years, they would occasionally regroup for charity events.
They teamed up with Rum Bar Records in 2019 to record their first new material in over 30 years with the release of their EP “She’s The One.” The new tracks delighted long-time fans and newcomers alike. Despite the disruption of the pandemic, they kept up their momentum and released the EP “Drop That Needle” in 2022.
The band released the single “I Can’t Get Over You” in 2023, followed by two singles, “Library Girl” and “With A Scarlet Letter,” in 2024. They are currently recording material for a full album release in 2025.
The award-winning full-length documentary “The Dogmatics: A Dogumentary (They Were Boston’s House Band)” will be widely released in early 2025.
