The Dorsets are Adam Melia (vocals/guitar); Chad Bowman (guitar/vocals); Matt Cox (drums); Andrew Paschall (bass guitar). Their sound stems from the garage band, straight ahead, edgy-pop Rock and Roll born in the sixties and nurtured in the seventies. The Dorsets refreshingly and excitingly focus on putting together a great live rock show, lifting tactics used by the likes of the Rolling Stones, Hendrix, the Black Crowes, and Oasis. This is something not often seen in the Phoenix area, setting them apart from all the other local bands. They have over thirty original songs, eleven of which are on their debut full length album, We Can Do No Wrong. Their album can be purchased online at iTunes, www.thedorsets.com, www.cdbaby.com, and www.digstation.com. It is also being sold at Rockzone Records in Chandler, AZ and at Hoodlums on the ASU campus in Tempe, AZ. In June of 2007, the Dorsets completed their first tour, celebrating their first year in existence, encompassing cities in New Mexico, Colorado, California, Utah, Nevada, and Arizona.
In recent news, The Dorsets are currently working on a follow up album that is coming with high hopes from the band and loads of newly developed confidence.

"Put them in suits and give them bowl haircuts, because from the sweet harmonies to the charismatic melodies, this Phoenix quartet channels the British Invasion circa 1965. In April, they released their 11-track debut, We Can Do No Wrong, which recalls the retro vibe of the Rosebuds' debut several years ago, and will be a treat to fans of the Beatles, Kinks, and Zombies. There's an unabashed old-fashioned sensibility evident from the infectious, creeping, "Tell Me Who You Are," which hints of the Animals until its exultant Byrds-ish chorus, to the lilting R&B-tinged Mersey beat of "Feelin' Kinda Good." There are hints of funk around the fringes ("Not Satisfied," "Into Tomorrow") and the Phish-worthy "With Reason" seems like it Quantum Leaped onto the album, but overall, it's a refreshing trip back to the no-nonsense, straight-ahead pop-rock style of the mid-'60s. Rather than just ape the sound (we're looking at you, Oasis), The Dorsets seem to embody the wide-eyed, optimistic spirit of the times, as expressed in the album title."
