Since their inception, The Polydogs side-stepped the status quo, drawing inspiration not from industry expectations, but from the bandmate’s wide swath of cultural influences and creative talents. The genre-defying result cuts a new groove in the Texas music scene, with smoky and cerebral southern blues sliding into whiskey-soaked, rough-and-tumble rock’n’roll.

The Polydogs began to take shape in Fort Worth, Texas in 2016, when drummer Matt Mabe played on singer/songwriter/guitarist Matt Tedder’s debut EP “California Mercy Me.” Other critically acclaimed artists continued to collaborate with Tedder on stage, and The Polydogs eventually solidified into a four-piece band consisting of Matt Tedder (guitar, vocals), Matt Mabe (drums, vocals), Nick Tittle (guitar, vocals), and Kris Luther (bass, vocals).

In March of 2018, the band took to the studio, where their first record was produced, mixed, and engineered by Taylor Tatsch (Shadows of Jets) at Audiostyles in Dripping Springs, Texas and mastered by Todd Pipes (Deep Blue Something).
