Toronto’s Dilly Dally are simultaneously poppy, fuzzy and grungey (and never more so the latter than when schlepping through city streets draped in a purple monster outfit in their video for most recent single, the defiant Purple Rage).
Their raspy-voiced soft grunge has gained plaudits across the board, and the extremely promising duo of singles so far has made us extremely excited for Sore, their forthcoming album, out 9 October on Partisan Records. The band are also on a UK tour in January. Check the dates after singer Katie Monks’ rundown of a top five of her choice.
This week, Katie of the band introduces us to TECH-NO-STALGIA (also known as her favourite video game themes). Take it away, Katie.

Here’s some tunes that remind me of the beautiful times I’ve had in my life, hanging out with my family and friends, growing up and learning about the world… through pools of neon blood, alien/mutant battles, adorable dinosaur adventures, and bad-ass babes that can morph into leopards made of fire. Anyone who hates on video games clearly doesn’t understand the great powers of TECH-NO-STALGIA.
