The Dogmatics
Nowheresville
July 18, 2025 Album
Now available & streaming worldwide
It’s been 39 years since the Dogmatics added a new LP to the archive of Boston rock history, but the group doesn’t sound any less gritty for the break. The Boston band’s garage rock prowess is a given, but it’s their ability to bridge the past (the schoolboy daydream “Library Girl”) with current moment (the social-media-skewering “No Likes No Comments”) that really revs the engine of Nowheresville.
Recent Single Releases 2023 - 2025
The years seem to just melt away when you hear the new Dogmatics song “I Can’t Get Over You”. The song is mid-80’s Dogmatics …It has two of the attributes we love the most with punk songs – it’s catchy and short. At 1:52 you can listen to it over and over – you know we did.
Library Girl is the kind of rock song any fan of this kind of music should get to know to draw The Dogmatics out of the Boston circuit. Yes, Library Girl is that good, believe me.
This track may come off like a goofy garage/pub rocker on the surface. But at a deeper level, it examines our nation’s puritanical heritage and warns of forces in America which seek to erode the separation church and state. So, yeah, it’s a fun sing-along number that’s also a political anthem. This band never disappoints.
It’s 96 seconds of fury that dates back to the band’s earliest rehearsals. Leader Jerry Lehane had attended a show by 80s Boston legends The Outlets, and rushed to the infamous Thayer Street rehearsal loft to write this ferocious rocker.

The Dogmatics
2022 EP
Drop That Needle
Not content to be remembered for their old classics, The Dogmatics are well on their way to authoring a whole slew of new ones. This band honors the past but is not stuck in it.
The Dogmatics have been at it making great rock n roll for awhile now. The passion is clearly still there on the latest single “Drop That Needle”
The recording is sharp, the beat is urgent, the guitar solos are restrained and hit their mark. The Dogmatics have the ability to capture a time gone by with a song that makes your feet move now.
‘Treat’ yourself and blast this new Dogmatics release out of your speakers large and small! ‘Drop That Needle’ repeatedly on this one!
“This was the track I was most excited to hear, and it does not disappoint!
You can feel Paul's spirit in this recording, and his lyrics are truly chilling in the wake of what's been happening to our environment in recent decades.”
– Lord Rutledge, Faster and Louder

Jerry Lehane’s Other Music Projects
