Dose is a four-piece alternative rock band that emerged onto the Dublin music scene in October 2023. Since then, the band has swiftly gained traction, gracing esteemed venues such as The Button Factory and Whelans as well as being granted a coveted spot for Ireland Music Week 2024, Ones to Watch, and We've Only Just Begun.
The band’s debut single 'Cuckoo' dropped in September 2024, to popular acclaim and secured a spot as 2FM The Alternative’s Track of the Week. The Goo described the track as “a fuzzy pitch shifting cross between shoegaze, coldwave with some post punk thrown in. Sung by The Roches and mixed by Eno.”—and predicted big things for Dose in 2025.
Their second single, 'Parallelogram', was released in February 2025 and was praised by Nialler9 as "a slice of dream pop shoegaze." It was also named "Track of the Week" by both Dan Hegarty on 2FM and The Thin Air.
Through an amalgamation of musical styles ranging from punchy dream pop to explorations of 90s grunge, post-punk and synth-pop, Dose have crafted their own unique sound.
