Dogleg are an American rock band formed in Detroit, Michigan in 2015. They released their debut album, Melee in 2020 to critical acclaim. The band is fronted by Alex Stoitsiadis as lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist, with Chase Macinski on bass, Parker Grissom on guitar, and Jacob Hanlon on drums.
History
Dogleg's origins begin in late 2015 when lead singer, Alex Stoitsiadis, started the project as a solo project.[1] Stoitsiadis said of the formation that "[he] didn’t really expect anything from it. I just wanted to write because there wasn’t much creative freedom in my other bands I used to be in. I just felt like I couldn’t write the songs I wanted to write, so I was like, I’m just going to sit down, write as many songs as I can before I don’t have this space in my parents’ basement anymore, record, and just put it out there and see what happens."[1]
In 2016, Stoitsiadis moved from his hometown of Rochester Hills, Michigan to Ann Arbor to attend college at the University of Michigan. Stoitsiadis began working on and released the self-titled EP, Dogleg in 2016.[1] The name of the EP and band is borrowed from “the greatest band to ever come from Michigan,” Bear Vs. Shark, and their song “Broken Dog Leg.”[1] Around early-2016 of the first full-time members to join Dogleg was Parker Grissom, who at the time was still in high school. Come summer 2016, Grissom joined the band full-time. The band began playing regular shows at Metal Frat, or Sigma Phi, which was a Michigan-based fraterny known for its basement shows. The same shows were where contemporaries such as Brave Bird, La Dispute, and Pity Sex began. Later that year with the new lineup, Dogleg recordered and released their second EP, Remember Alderaan?.
Throughout 2017, Dogleg began touring across Michigan,[2] and in 2018, the band began playing shows across the midwest, particularly in cities such as Akron, Chicago, and Indianapolis. Later in 2018, the band got recruited to represent Michigan at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas.[3] In 2019, Dogleg signed with Triple Crown Records, which led to the band to record their first full-length album.[4] On March 13, 2020, Dogleg released Melee, their debut album, which was met to critical acclaim.[5][6][7][8]
