In the wee beginning hours of 2016, Madison, Wisconsin, duo Dos Malés (also stylized as one word) offered up their self-titled debut EP, a five-tracker that melds sludge and heavy rock grooves with oozing, bone-rattling tonality. Comprised of guitarist/vocalist Michael “Peewee” Makela and drummer/vocalist Nick “Stix66” Zumm, the band draw immediate attention owing to Makela‘s doubling in the again-active Bongzilla (not to mention the seemingly less-active Aquilonian), and hold it with the Floor-gone-raw melody and air-push low-end of “Giants” from the EP. It’s definitely a demo, but not hard to hear where Dos Malés are headed sound-wise on “Stars,” and it’s very clearly the right direction.

They’ve pressed up 100 tapes of the demo, and while one never knows where a project might end up in the longer run, they’ve made an encouraging start. New Year, new band. Seems fair enough:

DOSMALÉS (TWO EVILS) formed in the late Summer/early Fall 2014 when Peewee (Bongzilla) ran into Stix (Panther/Pyroklast) @ The Wisco Pub. Knowing each other years prior but out of touch for some time, Peewee asks Stix to start a 2-piece. Together only almost a month, the songs poured out, playing their 1st show opening for Child Bite & Zebras. After a slew of diy & club shows comes their debut EP.

We have been taking a break from posting & playing shows the last couple of months but are now proud to announce the release of our new 5 Song EP for the new year! We recorded it this last Spring @ The Lions Den in Madison, tracked & mixed by Paul O’Donnell & recently mastered by Brad Boatwright @ AUDIOSIEGE. Songs will be up for download on our new Bandcamp page on New Year’s Eve and cassette tapes out soon after! Also, watch for a tape release show coming in the near future, more info soon!

Mikey (Peewee) – Guitar/Vox
Nick (Stix66) – Drums/Backing Vox
