This episode, we’re talking to local Alaskan band SunDog. The trio is composed of guitarist/singer Abi Sparkman, bassist Devin Lind, and drummer Philip Giannulis. Their music has been described as psychedelic, pop-grunge, and classic-rock inspired. Their third album “About You” came out on September 25th, and they celebrated the release with a concert at Bear Tooth a few days later.

ATMI producer Kaylee LaTocha sat down with SunDog to talk about the formation of the band, Anchorage’s music scene, and break down the themes of “About You”.
