DODGEBALL is a band that write songs about not feeling good about yourself. Their four song EP Stephanie is full of moments where the music shoves your face into the sludge of life with a raw passion that’s relatable on a cosmic scale. Their slow, miry slacker rock trudges along against the nature of life and comes out on the other side, sounding life-affirming despite all its sadness. The uniquely hopeful songs of DODGEBALL can be experienced live at Trans-Pecos on Oct. 4. –Tucker Pennington
