Doc Dabolu's "Sunburn" is the second official release from Chicago singer-songwriter Mike Grosso, member of spastic rock band 'Wonka' and firm believer in the concept that acoustic rock can be weird, unique and rock pretty hard.

Doc Dabolu is self-described as Angry Reptile Rock.
Okay then, what is Angry Reptile Rock?

Imagine acoustic rock written by angry lizards, one holding an acoustic guitar, one holding a bass and another with drumsticks, hitting both drums and random objects that may lie in its path. It's like hearing Gastr Del Sol performed with Ween's silly sense of humor. That is "Sunburn," Doc Dabolu's sophomore release.

Sometimes, just one note chosen off the horizon, or one sound discovered while banging objects together, can turn a standard pop song into a maniacal work of brilliance. More than anything else, Doc Dabolu has a grasp of where that note and sound hang out together on weekends.

Sometimes DD is sad, sometimes it is silly, sometimes it is confusing - but it is always honest and accessible.

This is the personal project of Chicago musician, Mike Grosso, current bassist of spastic indie/prog rock outfit Wonka. It is what happens when music is created by a person who grew up playing with 4-tracks, writing songs with any instrument he could find lying around.

This is music for people who enjoy accessible rock and/or acoustic rock music in its raw, transparent form, devoid of make-up and over-priced producers.

In layman's terms you can call it angry folk or acoustic rock, but it is far more accurately described as an angry reptile with an acoustic guitar and a whole lot of ideas on how to mess with your ears.
