PopDose includes Dominique Pruitt’s “High in the Valley” as one of their favorite singles of 2018
Popdose last spotlighted Dominique Pruitt in (gasp) 2012, when she burst onto the scene with the new millennium Patsy Cline singalong, ‘To Win Your Love‘. The world appeared to have been hers for the taking — but her stellar debut album never materialized (beyond some promos that made the rounds) and suddenly we find ourselves here six years later, not with an album (yet) but with one new song. Well, the wait was suddenly worth it, straight from the opening line, “Closest that I’ve ever been to God is a Bible on a nightstand at an old roadside motel.” Pruitt delivers a gem straight outta Marty McFly’s 1950’s Hill Valley, with detours through the tattered maps connecting John Waters and Quentin Tarantino soundtracks.
Pruitt tells Popdose that the song recalls her 18th through 20th years, passing the the time with her sister in Conoga Park, getting high with a little help from her friends. She co-wrote it with Jasmine Ash,? ?Joseph Holiday and Kenny Fleetwood. Holiday produced, with an ace ensemble backing Pruitt up: Travis Daggett (Guitar), Kevin Conroy (drums), John Schreffler (pedal steel) and Zach Kibbee (bass). This stellar band is primed and ready to play Grand Ole Opry — or Hollywood’s Hotel Cafe — and if nothing else, some smoke filled bar along Ventura Boulevard in the Valley….READ MORE
Kat Myers & the Buzzards Featured on PopDose’s Listening Booth
Straddling the two extremes, roots-rockers Kat Myers and The Buzzards offers the E.P. with the official title Kat Myers & The Buzzards Owe Everybody Money. Myers voice is a pleasing intersection where Aimee Mann and Natalie Merchant collide with equal parts roadhouse and street-corner busking informing the tunes.
“Under The Rug” mixes rock directness with southern accents in a way not too dissimilar from Dents and Shells-era Richard Buckner. “The Things I Love” moves from a rollicking strum to a reverb-laden heavy rocker, then morphs back into the congenial crowd-pleaser it started off as; an odd but effective Jeckyll-and-Hyde of a tune, but it works from start to finish.
Myers and company allow the occasional lightheartedness to accent the songs, not mire them down. The tracks about social and relationship dysfunction are not dark ruminations that demand you pay attention because this is serious. They are more like camera phone snapshots of vignettes that remind us that, at heart, we’re all kind of screwed up.

Popdose Interview with Family Pet
Los Angeles punk band Family Pet have officially released their debut single, also called “Family Pet.” Described as delivering “garage-punk riffs with flippant aggression, their snotty, subversive lyrics smoothed like strawberry icing over the beating heart of rock & roll,” the band’s upcoming album due in October, Petty, is produced by Colleen Green.

PopDose premieres “Good in it All” by The Good Graces
PopDust Premiere
Popdose is pleased to present the new single from Americana/indie-folk collective the Good Graces. Led by frontwoman Kim Ware, the group opened the Indigo Girls 2015 summer tour, and has shared bills with The Old Ceremony, Vandaveer, and more.
Set Your Sights (out July 7) is a reflective set of tracks that explore getting older, looking back on life, and trying to correct missteps. Ware describes as her “midlife crisis record.”
New single “Good In it All” is a quiet, downtempo ballad about finding the silver lining in times of loss, driven by Ware’s airy vocals atop blankets of atmospheric, reverb-washed guitars, piano, and sparse percussion. READ MORE…
