Genre: Rock
Born from the seed of an idea. It was the idealism of crazy rock ‘n’ roll, laced with humor and a liberal dose of outrageous stage antics, that gave birth to Dr. Spock, fully equipped to kick the complacent collective asses of what we used to call ‘rock and roll’.
“(KKKK)The eclectic six-piece spend the next hour bombarding the writhing drunken audience with their frentic and absurd compositions.This is one highly entertaining & innovative band, and for that you´ve got to love them. A fitting end to a brilliant night. Odin would be proud.
”
Lucy Williams - Kerrang
“No words could aptly describe this band. In some kind of recreational electro-thrashing, American wrestling style they peddled a perverted and surreal show based around a washing up glove.”
Clash magazine
“Dr Spock are the current expert exponents of this sort of noisy cabaret.They're a band not to be missed if they ever come your way and don't be scared when you see that the band brings a whole box of pink or yellow rubber gloves to every gig.”
Ben Murray - Virtual Festivals
“Dr. Spock was much like the Ultra Mega guys; there is something in the water here that turns people crazy, and Dr. Spock drink a lot of water. Imagine rock, metal, costumes, lots of sweat, jumping, screaming etc.
”
Shain - Drowned In Sound
“Musically they are System Of A Down shed of the politics. After 24 hours of watching mournful singer songwriters, we´re ready to admit that a grown man with his cock cling-wrapped in pink spandex might just be what the doctor ordered”
Henry Barnes - Grapevine
