WHAT THE PRESS ARE SAYING:
​
"Thanks to tight chemistry, killer hooks, and a distinctive sound that’s both lo-fi and retro-pop smooth, New Jersey’s Dentist have managed to stand out amid a sea of like-minded musical acts. The band’s sunny indie-surf sound and energetic, four-on-the-floor rock belies the subtle and dark lyrics often hiding beneath the sweet exterior" – The A.V. Club
​
Dentist have precision and technicality that borders on math rock, but they also know how to temper their muisicality for deft variations of energy and aesthetic." - Stereogum

​
