"Hear a lot of Buddy Holly and Richie Valens in that!" - Medford Jim
"Boston garage/punk legends The Dogmatics are having a bit of a revival lately, at least in part due to the film The Dogmatics: A Dogumentary. They've recently released a new single, "I Can't Get Over You." This one is more vintage garage rock and early rock and roll than punk. It has a little bit of the punk edge you'd expect from The Dogmatics, but it could easily be a song from a Nuggets compilation. "I Can't Get Over You" just has that timeless quality to it that the best garage rock/power pop has." - If It's Too Loud
"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 ...the sound, the song style, the sound of the voices and the feel of the lyrics. 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. Like Jerry Lehane said...keep it short and keep 'em wanting more. and you will!!... like we did!" - Boston Groupie News
"What I admire about Dogmatics is that they've built a body of work in recent years (2019's She's the One EP and last year's Drop That Needle EP) that stands on its own merits. Even if you'd never heard the group's classic releases, you'd still consider them one of the best rock 'n' roll bands going just based on what they've put out there since reuniting. "I Can't Get Over You" is nothing more and nothing less than a straight-ahead rock 'n' roll tune in a timeless style. It's got a great hook, and it will get your toes tapping in no time flat. This could almost pass for some lost gem from Buddy Holly or Bobby Fuller, and that's about the highest compliment I could pay a song. Jerry Lehane sure knows how to write a three-chord rock 'n' roll tune!" - Faster And Louder
"Those Bosstown Garage Punk legends are still at it writing and recording brand new music and releases. The Dogmatics will have a proper full new release out in 2024 and to whet our fans appetites until then and to also provide new music while “The Dogmatics: A Dogumentary” continues being added to film festivals across the globe." - RPM Online
YES LOU!! I was at BCN’ when these guys were kicking’ some ass in Boston! - Jeff Munger, The Alternate Root
The new original track "I Can't Get Over You" is The Dogmatics 2023 single release. Boston blueprint of garage punk 101. Keep an ear out for more new music in 2024!
