Inside the performance

Sound, stage & company

Documented collaborators

Dog Date is a New York City-based performer project that grew from Dylan Kennedy’s home-recording experiments into a high-energy live band, featuring a five-piece lineup and a distinctive dual-drum setup. Known for fuzzed-out guitar textures, terse songforms, and a relentless live attack, Dog Date has carved out a niche in the indie punk scene with a string of self-released records and a later release on Pop Wig Records.

Dog Date’s discography showcases a progression from intimate home-recordings to a more assertive live sound, anchored by a dual-drum attack. The project began as Dylan Kennedy’s studio-based idea and evolved into a five-piece band with two drummers, delivering short, hard-hitting songs. Key releases include Zinger (2024, Pop Wig Records) and earlier self-released titles like Child's Play (2021) and Hellpod (2019). For fans of concise punk that hits hard and sticks, Dog Date remains an essential listen in the NYC scene. For updates, follow the band on Bandcamp, which links to Facebook and Instagram, and check press coverage from PunkNews, The PunkSite, BrooklynVegan, and Scene Point Blank for context on the live approach and studio work.
