actual reviews of this record!!!
"This recording should be played loud and often."
- The Noise, October 2006
"[the new dumb]...manage to take us by surprise at each attempt with their singular songwriting style, offering up the essence of punk in a contemporary offshoot that is definitely worth hearing."
-New England Performer, December 2006
"It's clear The New Dumb would rather be singing about pure randomness then about the typical love and heartbreak of most indie bands of today. And with that band name, it's obvious the members aren't pretentious...The result: a great EP that needs to be played loud-with the bass up-to be truly appreciated."
- The Berkeley Beacon (Emerson College), October 2006
THAT'S RIGHT, IT'S OFFICIALLY CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED! GET IT ALREADY!
and now, our official biographical information:
"we are the new dumb."
we're a three piece band from allston, Massachusetts and we like rock music.
our sound can be described as an indie-rock-punk-DIY type thing with a dashing sense of humor and good looks. we've been told we sound something like any or all or none of these bands: pixies, fugazi, the liars, ween, misfits, gang of four, etc - of course we're not really any good, so don't get all bent out of shape. basically its post-punk-rock-dancish sorta type stuff, that's what we like and that's what we do - we write songs that are fun and loud and entertaining. oh wait, why the hell are we bothering to type this? just listen to the god damn songs and you can come up with your own witty title! just make sure you tell us what that title is.
the band was formed at first in 2001, and began recording music and playing shows in early 2003. since then, we pretty much have continued to practice and play shows, amusing thousands and thousands of fans (in our heads) and earning huge amounts of critical praise (in our dreams).
we are amazing.
and modest.
take our word for it.
