Biography

Formed in 2002, Chicago-based indie rock outfit the Dials fuse new wave and punk into a rowdy, melodic, and street-smart tonic that echoes the great girl groups of the '60s turned up to 11. Relying on the talents of Rebecca Crawford, Patti Gran, Emily Dennison, and Chad Romanski, the band released its debut EP, Sick Times, in 2003 to critical acclaim, both local and national. The group's first full-length album, Flex Time, was released in 2005 on the Latest Flame label.
