Blank Dogs Tickets

Blank Dogs is the musical project led by Brooklyn-based artist and label founder Mike Sniper. Known for a raw, tape-echoed aesthetic that harks back to 1980s DIY punk and synth-driven post-punk, Blank Dogs blends minimalist drum machines, fuzzy guitars, and smoky vocals to create a signature lo-fi sound. Over a career spanning the late 2000s into the 2010s, Sniper built a devoted following through meticulous DIY production and a prolific release schedule across independent labels.

As the founder of Captured Tracks, Sniper helped shape a wave of indie sounds, while keeping Blank Dogs firmly rooted in hands-on, independent production. The project’s music has appeared on notable labels such as In the Red Records, Sacred Bones, Troubleman Unlimited, and Captured Tracks, reflecting a wide but cohesive catalog that appeals to fans of gritty, retro-inspired synth-punk.
