On their 4-song demo, Dummy Room plays the sort of no-frills Chicago-style punk that I grew up listening to. The songs are short, fast, aggressive blasts of punk rock that are uncomplicated and raw but refreshing to hear amidst all the overproduction in today’s so-called “punk” scenes. If you like The Bollweevils or very early Screeching Weasel you’re sure to like Dummy Room. The sound is (in a few words) real Quincy Shanks-y. Supposedly these guys are recording a full-length sometime soon so keep your eyes and ears open. As soon as Ben from the band let’s me know, I’ll pass that info your way. They’ve got the entire demo as well as a few covers available for download over at their site. Oh yeah, Dummy Room is playing at Reggie’s tonight for anyone who is interested.
