Please join The Dallas Badgers Club, a garage rock duo from Mesa, Arizona, featuring Dylan Morrison (vocals, guitar, bass) and Raymond Goodwin (drums, percussion). On their debut album, they transport us to Your Brother’s Bar, to atmospheres reminiscent of Edward Hopper’s 1942 Nighthawks painting, although the cover art (by Darren Simoes) and sound are set some 30 years later.

You’ll hear eight blues-soaked rock songs, gritty yet controlled, with an unmistakable live feel. Just like the riffs and rhythms, the lyrics drift between tenderness and anxiety (flowers in the head, hearts racing in the morning, traveling long distances just to confirm a feeling you already know will hurt), capturing the push and pull of desire, boredom, and self-doubt. Taken together, this record hits like a late-night confession, finding beauty in vulnerability and the slow crawl back toward steadier ground—a fitting soundtrack for a fluorescent-lit night where everyone is alone together, lingering too long.

Your Brother’s Bar, engineered and mixed by Josh Medina, is now out digitally (self-released).
