Atlanta, Georgia Jun 11, 2022 (Issuewire.com) - Alt-rock “hobbyists” Dragon and Berr have dropped another LP album not long ago, “Something Wrong with Those Two,” bringing their official repertoire to a total of five full-length records and signaling that while D&B insist, they’re only having fun, it’s probably time for music fans to treat them like the legitimate recording artists they have clearly become. Several songs from the record, like the single “Demons in the Dark,” have been released with official music videos [links provided below].
Like previous releases “She’s So Shui” and “Existential” (2021 and 2020 respectively), “Something Wrong with Those Two” has been published as an independent release without the involvement of the corporate music industry. Also like their other LPs, “Something Wrong with Those Two” spans several genres as Dragon and Berr explore their sonic interests and prove they’ve picked up some new tricks. Fun, highly textured, and without a shred of apology to the professional music super-culture, “Something Wrong with Those Two” showcases a lot of the surprises and dare to go there a style that is Dragon and Berr
Georgia’s Dragon and Berr have been cited as the main influences for “Something Wrong with Those Two” the Beatles, Fall Out Boy, Hall & Oates, and Styx, but comparisons can also be drawn to the punk-rock and industrial music subcultures, as well as nineties alt-rock in general. Primus and Metallica sound appear here and there, as well as hints of Arma Angelus. However, trying to pigeonhole music by Dragon and Berr is a fool’s errand, seeing as how they purposefully zig when expected to zag, and delight in surprising fans with a new direction nobody expects them to take. Like the Punk Rap song “Home Wrecker (Online Little Punk)”
“We go over the mountain and to the other side with this one,” writes Dragon of their new album and its themes. “Of course, you tend to dig into some things that are very much part of us, take a look at our hearts and souls, events that may have gone through creative twists to be placed in songs.”
And; what about their cherished “hobbyist” moniker?
“We love music and making songs, and mixing our DIY punk style with just about anything,” Dragon says to the both of them. “We are having fun — and just don’t want it to stop being fun … It sounds odd really, but for all the learning and interaction with other bands and recording artists, I am almost afraid of overlearning. I don’t want to lose the DIY hobbyist style that makes us, us. These days so many people want to put bands or recording artists in a certain genre box. That is just not us. We go with how it feels. We did not intentionally try to be different. The albums and the songs just fall into place where the vibes of a song take us. If we have a little country, a little Jazz or Metal or Big Band moments in a song….that’s ok. That is just how it felt to go there.”
Dragon and Berr are Edwin and Donna Millheim, a self-described “husband-and-wife American pop-punk, metal-punk, grunge-punk, country-punk, a rock band from Georgia. They are off-the-wall creatives who met much earlier in 1986 in a gaming arcade.”
“Something Wrong with Those Two” by Dragon and Berr is available from over 600 quality digital music stores online worldwide now. If you are in California or have the internet radio, you can also hear Dragon and Berr played on Whatever 68 Radio and on the PunkrPrincess What Ever Show on that station.
