As they get set to embark on the second leg of their Year Of The Bunny Tour rock-pop-punk duo The Dollyrots announce their new studio album. “Night Owls” will be out on October 13th, 2023, via Wicked Cool Records.
“You know how they say a band’s first album is usually their best? Well, I think because we had time for this one, you know, since the world stopped due to Covid, it’s a lot like a first album. We had so many bits and pieces and once we could finally get into the studio it all just flew out of us, like we had been holding something vital & urgent in for years. Because we had. If you love The Dollyrots you’ll love ‘Night Owls’. If you don’t know The Dollyots, you’ll probably love it too”, says singer / bassist Kelly Ogden.

For “Night Owls”, the band once again enlisted longtime collaborator John Fields (Jimmy Eat World, All Time Low, Meet Me At the Altar) who is responsible for the bulk of production credit. Both the CD and vinyl will be presented in deluxe packaging with holographic covers and double-sided poster inserts. The neon yellow album is being pressed on 180-gram vinyl.
