September Deli Artist of the Month Doppelganger play a refreshing brand of rock and roll that is smart, riff-based and with a healthy dose of swagger. R. Francis (guitar), Ryan Oh-No (drums / vocals) and Joey Hamm (bass) seem to draw their inspiration from classic guitar bands of the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. Their debut EP "Get It Over With Already" is chock full of this vibe. "Breaks My Head" comes at you initially with a start/stop guitar pattern, morphing into something more cohesive. If the verses reference The Strokes, the chorus bursts large like the best 80’s Guitar Hero band. A clever nod is also made to The Beach Boys or perhaps Plastic Bertrand’s "Ca Plane Pour Moi." The ghost of Billy Idol’s "Dancing With Myself" walk hand-in-hand with lyrics stating "but you don’t listen, when I say, hey let’s go." – Dave Cromwell
