DUMMY STRIKES SYNTH-POP GOLD WITH "SUDDENLY"
Everyone knows that in order to “break through” in the music industry, musicians have to authentically distinguish themselves in a way that’s impossible to ignore. Enter the New Jersey synth-pop band, DUMMY. The group, formed in 2019, recently released their first single “Suddenly” which has already racked up 51,800 streams on Spotify ... a count that’s increasing every day. What’s the allure, you ask?
Ben Nelson (vocals / bass), Jeff Fetzko (Guitar), Carlee Ahart (Guitar, Vocals), Matt Nace (Keys), and Cris Nace (Drums) have found a way to take the new wave sound of the 1970’s and 80’s and put a modern, energetic, pop-punk stamp on it that will transport my “seasoned generation” right back to that timeframe making you feel like you’ve dipped yourself in magic waters. Think Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark, Animotion, or Tears for Fears. The band all agreed that they want “take that energy from ‘back in the day’ and bring it to a new level.”
