The Dogmatics

**The Dogmatics** are a raucous garage-punk outfit that’s been rattling the Boston music scene since their formation in 1981. Founded by brothers Paul O’Halloran (vocals/guitar) and Tommy O’Halloran (bass), their sound blends sneering punk energy with catchy, beer-soaked hooks, earning them a loyal following in the Northeast’s underground rock circuits. Their debut album, *Beyond the Puppet Show* (1984), became a cult classic, but tragedy struck when Tommy died in a car accident in 1985, leading to a long hiatus. The band eventually regrouped in the 2000s, reviving their raw, riff-driven spirit with newer releases like *Pussy Whipped* and *Nowheresville*, which keep their legacy of scrappy anthems alive. With tracks like “Drop That Needle” and “Thayer Street,” The Dogmatics remain a no-frills reminder of rock ‘n’ roll’s basement-show roots.
