The powerhouse lineup that is Dog Spelled Backwards was pieced together over time. It all began when Max and Denis got together and realized their musical kinship almost instantaneously. Not long after they started vibing musically, they had a song put together – what we know today as The Life We Buried. After deciding they wanted to move forward and put together a band, they found Zak, with who they had that same instant chemistry. The final and integral piece to the puzzle was Anthony, who came in on vocals and completed the band.

Dog Spelled Backwards came out of the pandemic with a brand new EP. Descension dropped on August 6th and was quickly followed with a live stream on August 15th, from The Extraordinarium in Chicago. The Chicago-based quartet, also known as DSB, has dropped a number of singles over the past couple of years and has gathered a loyal following, with their song The Life We Buried sitting at over 5,000 streams on Spotify. Descension includes a completely redone version of the track, featuring Johnny Craig of Emarosa. With some upcoming and more shows to be determined, the band will be coming to you live from Reggie’s on Nov 3rd.
