This thing of ours celebrates its fourth birthday today. Lots be happening in Dics-world in the last 12 months — the Dictators NYC continued to slay audiences with their awesome roar, the Del Lords re-emerged with their 1st album in 22 years, and Andy Shernoff put the finishing touches on his second solo EP. You read about all of it here first, and we’re proud to be your go-to source for news about all things Dictators.
