First a little background. Purple Overdose is now known as The Dose however the album is called Purple Overdose. Confused? Good.

When attempting to describe this album, four words come to mind: harmonious, haunting, energetic and epic. There is a good flow from song to song, which is missing from much of today's music and get this, clear vocals! When was the last time you bought a CD that you could make out the lyrics without hunting down a lyric sheet? The rich vocals and layered guitars really breathe life into the album, which is riddled with hot runs that keep the energy flowing and refuse to let you lose interest even for a moment.

Hello My Pain is easily the catchiest tune on the album. So Apropos packs a punch with a melodic, epic feel. I Transmit has kind of a blues rock overtone. The Dose's anthem "Steal the Sun" recently won Song of the Year on PopBang radio. Poker Slow is another catchy tune worthy of mention. Overall I wouldn't be surprised to hear any of these songs on the radio. The bottom line is that if you don't like this album you're lame.

The Dose is:
Eric Younkin (Lead Vocals/Guitar)
Ferritt (Guitar/Background Vocals)
Steve Marbut (Drums)
Bob Diekmeier (Bass)
