In support of their debut double LP entitled On Patrol due out June 12th, D.O.T.S. C.O.N.F.U.S.E. M.I.N.D.S. ("DCM") share their first official video release for the single Jenn You Whine.

D.O.T.S. C.O.N.F.U.S.E. M.I.N.D.S. is a Brooklyn-based improvisational rock band that emphasizes creative song writing, seamlessly crossing genre boundaries, and stylishly interweaving sophistication with infectious cathiness.

On June 12th, DCM will celebrate the release of their 22 song debut double LP with a CD release party at New York City's Webster Hall (the Studio). Additionally, the band will also host all ages day-time kids show as a fundfaiser for Brooklyn's PS 261 at Littlefield on Sunday June 22nd.

In terms of reference points for the debut album, the band points to the Talking Heads and the Pixies for more modern sounds and the Grateful Dead, Music From Big Pink, Exile on Main Street, and the multi-guitar arrangements of Buffalo Springfield for older sounds.

Musically, DCM's influences span various genres including psych, indie rock, jam, bluegrass, surf rock, indie pop, and punk. The hallmark of the band lies in their ability to craft high quality songs across a variety of genres. The band aims to write songs with pop song precision, yet they have a deep respect for improvisation so it's not uncommon for the material to take on new directions in the live setting.

DCM consists of Scott Howard (vocals), Ryan Demler (guitar), Alex Stimmel (guitar), Adrian Mullins (drums, joined post-album production), Kenny Llort (bass, joined post-album production), and Natalie Pergament (vocals). Additionally, Steve Tatowicz (drums), Randy Dunn (bass), Jackson Kincheloe (harmonica, Sister Sparrow and the Dirty Birds), and Ben Smith (banjo) performed on On Patrol.

Hailing from New York City, Turbine has release its fourth full length Shakin' Off The Shock. This new album twists and turns through eleven tracks, weaving a sonic thread of hard riffs and electrofunk around their most memorable lyrics to date. Working closely with producer John Davis, who recorded The Black Keys' Grammy winning song Tighten Up as well as Turbine's previous album Blue Light City, the band found themselves digging deeper than even before into the grooves that drive each song. Together they were able to bring out the startling uniqueness of each track on the album. This wide range of mood is made cohesive by genuine rock 'n' roll poetry and soulful performances.

Embracing the past with an array of vintage amps, classic gear, and even a French horn, this album also opens the door to the future of musical instruments. 3D printing a custom harmonica microphone, Ryan Rightmire has linked it to an LED touchpad to create the first digital harmonica. Turbine is also unusual as an improvising rock band in that they have an exploratory lead guitarist who writes from a lyric-based perspective. Co-founder Jeremy Hilliard completes the band's unique sound with writing that reveals influences by artists such as Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Robert Hunter, and Conor Oberst. Shakin' Off The Shock is set for a wide release on June 29, 2015 via all major internet outlets, both digitally and vinyl on the band's forthcoming album release tour.

Since forming, Turbine has graced the stage at almost every major festival across the country including Bonnaroo, Wakarusa, 10K Lakes, Gathering of the Vibes, and the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. They have also performed with countless influential acts, from bluegrass legend Del McCoury to classic rockers Bad Company. With Shakin' Off The Shock, the band hopes to take the next step and reach that level of notoriety for themselves.
