The Dollyrots

The Dollyrots are a pop-punk band known for their high-energy performances and a consistent musical output that spans two decades, featuring partnerships with major labels and extensive touring. After gaining significant industry attention from their song ‘Feed Me, Pet Me’ being featured in a Hewlett-Packard advertisement in 2003, pop-punk band The Dollyrots secured a publishing deal with Windswept Pacific Music the same year. Composed of Kelly Ogden (bass, lead vocals) and Luis Cabezas (guitars, backing vocals), The Dollyrots formed in 2001, relocating to Los Angeles in January 2002. They recorded their debut album, ‘Eat My Heart Out,’ with producer John Fields at Capitol Studio B.

Demonstrating entrepreneurial spirit, The Dollyrots left Blackheart Records in 2011 to establish their own label, Arrested Youth Records, on which they released the ‘Arrested Youth’ EP on August 9, 2011. Their self-titled album, ‘The Dollyrots,’ followed on September 18, 2012, successfully crowdfunded via Kickstarter in September 2011. Leveraging subsequent crowdfunding, The Dollyrots continued independent success with ‘Barefoot and Pregnant’ (February 18, 2014), reaching the Billboard Heatseekers chart. The track ‘Come And Get It’ was named ‘Coolest Song In The World’ by Little Steven’s Underground Garage in April 2014.

Most recently, The Dollyrots released a cover of Tom Petty’s ‘American Girl’ in October 2017, earned ‘Coolest Song In The World 2019’ for ‘Everything’ from Sirius XM’s Little Steven’s Underground Garage, and are set to release their new single ‘Night Owls’ on October 13, 2024, continuing a two-decade legacy of high-energy performances and consistent output.
