Interviews: Dwarves
Feature — November 15, 2023
The secret is now out: Blag Dahlia makes a mean omlette! A really mean omlette.

The Dwarves – Born Again
Review — June 13, 2011
Back in the pre-internet era I came across a blurb in some metal magazine I read in my adolescent years—I’m guessing it was Rip. In that blurb it mentioned a “real punk” band called the Dwarves, who had just been kicked off the trendy Sub Pop for feigning the death …

The Dwarves – Invented Rock & Roll

The Dwarves – Take Back the Night
Review — January 29, 2018
Take Back The Night isn’t one of those experiment Dwarves records, like the industrio-tinge of Come Clean. On their latest offering, the long-running band alternates styles consistently between their unique and twisted take on bubblegum pop-punk and screaming, single-vocalist hardcore. For the most part, the hardcore songs are fronted …
