Dogleg - Melee (March 13, 2020; Triple Crown) Album • Page 12

Idk about scene classic, but it’s incredibly good and I think a year of consistent touring could have seen them really blow up

 

Nah this album rips. So good.

 

Yeah this album bangs start to finish. The closing orchestral movement alone puts them in their own class as a new artist. This record is special. The only thing it doesn't have as much as other "scene classics," for me, are really quotable lyrical moments. The vocals feel more like another instrument here, and I love singing slong, but rarely do I remember the lyrics.

 

Yeah, I don’t know if I’d call this a scene classic, but it surely would have benefited from them likely getting some nice opening spots for bands like PUP or something. Instead, I feel like it’s kind of lost in the shuffle.

 

I guess when i said scene classic i was also thinking cross over appeal. Maybe I’m giving to much credit to their 8.6 BNM lol but they seemed set to make the transition to fit the same space as bands like Japandroids / Cloud Nothings. Wide spreed indie appeal/festival circuits, etc. Which is a transition a lot of bands from this scene have trouble making.

 

I see what Matt is saying. They were slated to play the Pitchfork Music Festival this year in Chicago, and that 8.6 from Pitchfork probably helped them get on the festival, but it was really cool to see them on the lineup. A festival like that isn’t super easy to get on and a lot of the artists who play have “made it” so to speak.

 

This album is a scene classic

 

Earlier in the year my general vibe was ANGRY and this album fit that well. These days my general vibe has been SAD and DEFEATED and it works less well for that lol. Still think it’s amazing though.

 

I still listen to this all the time. Easily my AOTY.

 

Major twitter beef between Dogleg and Worst Party Ever going down

 

they're probably doing a split or something dumb lol

 

Never listened to Worst Party Ever

 

I’ve sadly been following this feud and I can’t tell if it’s real or not haha

 

Idk if it ever clicked that their name was a BvS reference.

 

it..... took me a second to realize you meant bear vs. shark

i thought it was batman vs. superman and was very confused and disappointed

 

ohhh...I couldn't get GBV out of my head and it prevented me from interpreting that lol

makes sense

 

I got yelled at for abbreviating something else before. I’ll never stop

 

at my job there are so many acronyms I think it has impacted my ability to take any more

 

"I'm gonna grab your dog leg superman!" - Batman from the 2016 movie Batman Vs. Superman

OR who could forget the deleted scene

"Superman tossed me around like I had dog legs Alfred."

Iconic

 

i wouldn't put it past chris terrio

 

their last EP is amazing. worth a check

 

looks like cover split with WPE tonight

 

Yeah, I actually checked them out just because of the twitter beef -

 

This album is very good, but this shirt is better:
