Over the past year, Liverpool-based outfit DBA! — Sam Warren (vocals, guitar), Jamie Lindberg (bass, backing vocals) and Josh Grant (lead guitar) — have quickly established a sound that draws influence from Eels, Beck and Elastica while receiving attention both locally and nationally. Their highly-anticipated debut EP skip! worried is slated for an April 29, 2025 and features two singles, “sinkorswim” and “Whiskey,” which have already received airplay from several BBC Radio 6 personalties including Huw Stephens, Craig Charles, Abbie McCarthy and Emily Pilbeam.

Adding to a growing profile, the rising trio have received coverage from Dork Magazine, So Young and Rough Trade among others. Building upon the buzz surrounding them, the trio’s latest single “D.P.D” is a twangy and grungy anthem that sounds as though it draws from Possum Kingdom-era Toadies, Get Born-era Jet while showcasing their penchant for catchy, raise-your-beer-in-their-air-and-shout-along worthy hooks.

“​’D.P.D.’ is a track I wrote whilst losing touch with reality…it’s a deep cut from the world slipping through my fingers, a song I’m not sure I understand but can’t help myself loving,” the band’s Sam Warren explains. “I hope people enjoy Josh’s slide guitar on this one as much as I do”.
