Yesterday marked the release of pop-punk rockers The Dollyrots fourth studio album The Dollyrots, a fan-funded effort which sees them paired with producer John Fields (Jimmy Eat World, Pink, Andrew W.K.) for their most energetic fun romp yet. Take a listen to the lead single “Hyperactive”:
The Dollyrots, is a mix of super-slick modern pop, classic three-chord punk rock, and a healthy dose of 80’s new wave. All the sugary, catchy, and aggressive elements that define The Dollyrots are present and Fields’ spontaneous and decisive recording style creates an urgency unheard since their first album.
The Dollyrots’ music has earned them song placements, commercials, and acting stints in film & TV including Disney / Pixar’s Brave, Hewlett-Packard, Kohls, CSI:NY, ABC Family’s Greek, Ugly Betty, Vampire Diaries, The Price is Right, Easy A, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, Reaper, and Bring It On: Fight to the Finish, among others.
