“Dose Rose did exactly what the first band is supposed to do - wake the room and set the tone. Their alternative rock sound filled the space quickly, with driving guitars and a rhythm section that locked in tight from the first song. By the second track, people were already drifting closer to the stage, heads nodding and the energy in the room starting to build. What I liked about their set is that it didn't feel like a warm-up slot. They played it like a headlining band. Confident, tight, and clearly comfortable on stage. The vocals carried well over the band and the songs had that mix of melody and grit that works perfectly in a live room. Opening a full day of bands is no small job, but Dose Rose handled it like pros and got the whole festial day moving in the right direction.” - Thomas R. Gohring
