Brooklyn new-wave punk band My Son the Doctor share their third single ‘Rubber Hands’ from upcoming EP ‘Taste Those Dreams’ out October 8 via Paper Moon Records.

Along with the release of the third single, the band will compete in NYC Artist Corp Battle of the Bands at the Delancey October 1st. Inspired by the interpolation between punk and jazz, ‘Rubber Hands’ shines as a high energy track that will have you dancing in no time.

“We liked the idea of making a song that felt like punks trying to play jazz. It’s a common complaint that people are statues at Brooklyn indie shows. We work hard to be both confrontational and inviting all at the same time. It’s an energy we really feed off and we tried to capture that in ‘Rubber Hands.’ The main goal of the song was just getting people moving.”

Some songs are written painstakingly over months, but ‘Rubber Hands’ came together surprisingly quickly over about two days. Guitarist Joel Kalow came to practice with an early form of the riff and from there the band worked to keep the bones of the song while changing up the feel entirely. For this single, it was about rhythm, achieving an almost swing – but not quite – feel, mixed in with a bass line that was equal parts stilted and driving. Ultimately, succeeding in getting their fans moving.

‘Taste Those Dreams’ was recorded with engineer Ian McNally and mastered at Peerless Mastering by Jeff Lipton (Superchunk, Spoon, Stephen Malkmus, Wilco, LCD Soundsystem).
