The Dubnicks Live At Acme Underground NYC

With surprisingly tight songs the bands cohesive structure ticks like a clock. Phil Dubnick really has a grip on his song writing and execution as the stage just lights up with this power trio. Filling the Acme Underground with sounds from the hard core power punk rock to the ballad. A really stunning performance you will be sure to enjoy.

Who are The Dubnicks

Boston based post-punk power-pop with a hardcore heart, The Dubnicks transcend the boundaries of modern rock & give the scene police the bird. Proving humor, heart, style & substance are not mutually exclusive concepts, The Dubnicks put the real back in rock.

Rejection Builds Character: The Dubnicks’ reflections on dating scene humiliation or a self-effacing comment on the reception of their first album, How to Be Cool? That a respectable number of college radio stations are playing their songs should give a good sense of just how little rejection this Boston-based trio has encountered with respect to their modestly successful first album. Their sophomore effort, Rejection Builds Character, proves that the band (which switched drummers in the interim) has actually improved since its first full-length release, smoothing out many of the ragged edges that plagued How to Be Cool.

The Dubnicks’ eclectic fusion of punk, rock, and indie bring you to a high level with catchy,  high-energy assortments of cheery clichés that manage to sound fresh and genuine. Their songs “Falls Apart” and “King of Mediocrity” are sincere expressions of pain and denial that will resonate while maintaining  a dynamic sound. “Act Like You Don’t Care” is a tender ballad. If the nomination for best punk band at the 2002 Boston Music Awards was not enough to make the trio feel cool, certainly the heartfelt and energetic Rejection Builds Character should cement them in the ranks of the more hip and inventive punk-rock bands.
