ASBURY PARK, NJ – September 7, 2022 – Upbeat, melodic and fuzzed out indie rock trio DENTIST has been making waves with theirnew album Making A Scene. The album has received nothing but rave reviews since its September 2nd release. Goldmine Magazine boasted, “intense power-pop excitement.” New Noise Magazine vowed, “their strongest album yet.” The Punk Site declared, “easily this trio’s most accomplished, catchy and engaging album to date.” Glide Magazine added, “all sorts of ’90s power-pop vibes.”
Also, Dentist will be closing out summer at Sea.Hear.Now Festivalin Asbury Park on Saturday, September 17th with Stevie Nicks, Boy George & Culture Club, My Morning Jacket, Gary Clark Jr. and others. In addition, limited edition pink vinyl is still available via Cleopatra Recordswebstore.
From a summer fling (“Check the Calendar”) to making a living doing something that you love (“New Dress”) to dealing with self-pity (“Understand It”) to being ghosted (“Don’t Let Me Catch You”) to being in an abusive relationship (“Let Me Let Go”) to causing emotional damage to women (“Spilled Coffee”) – Making A Scene touches on human emotions such as love, loss, grief and anxiety. At times, the songs touch on nihilism, expressing that no matter what happens nothing really matters.
“Don’t Let Me Catch You”
Dentist hails from the oceanfront urban landscape of Asbury Park, NJ.

Also, renowned music critic and co-host of Sound Opinions Jim DeRogatis listed them as one of his Favorite New Musical Discoveries at SXSW 2018 that music lovers need to hear.
