Dot Dot Dot - "I" EP

Dot Dot Dot, a band out of Chicago, Illinois, presents us their EP “I.” With its electronic vibe combined with an almost 80’s style rock element, this band gives us something very new to digest. The band members, Adam Blair, Stephan Kohnke, Michael Bonowicz, Rose Ana Laguana and Little Lisa each come from various bands and musical backgrounds making this a diverse and deep group of artists.

Today, huge trends among many bands are mixing genres of music and Dot Dot Dot pulls this off brilliantly. My favorite song on “I,” hands-down, is “Let It Go.” It starts out very thrilling and full of energy with an exciting electric guitar making an entrance early on. This is common in the entire EP, even if they go for a slower style in a song, you can still follow their patterns and it creates a familiarity with the band that fans will enjoy.

The use of electro-pop styles like Duran Duran and Hellogoodbye with a powerful guitar similar to The Killers and Butch Walker makes Dot Dot Dot a lot of fun. Although, I’d only give them a 7 out of 10 because they mostly rely on their catchy choruses to get them by because initially some of the songs don’t grab me into them as much as I’d like. However, once I become familiar with a song, as I did theirs, I was able to enjoy each song from second 1 to the end.

Overall, Dot Dot Dot is a very cheering and engaging band. I was hooked from the first song and every song after that held my attention. I hope Dot Dot Dot will continue with their unique style because they appeal to a wide variety of music lovers. *thumbs up*
