The Dumes
Summary
The Dumes sound developed as a reaction to the increasingly strange, toxic and cyclical world around them. Frustration and aggression give way to a lighter antagonistic attitude from song to song or even section to section. The Dumes recorded their debut EP with Joe Chicarelli at Sunset Sound and worked up their latest material with Rob Schnapf at MANT. After being immersed in the LA scene for years, they’ve found a new home in Portland, Oregon. They are currently releasing songs from the new "benched EP" and have shared the stage with artists like The Warning, Sheryl Crow, Peter Frampton and toured supporting Louis Post of Veruca Salt.
