Doghouse Rose Reveal “It Gets Worse” On New Single & Video

Toronto’s Doghouse Rose have released It Gets Worse, the second advance single from their upcoming album, Born To Break Even, that is due out on July 31st via Stomp Records. Where the album’s title track leaned into the band’s skate-punk roots, It Gets Worse is packed with towering harmonies, razor-sharp hooks, and power-pop charm, the track proves that the band’s biggest asset has never been speed, it’s their ability to write choruses that stick around long after the last guitar chord fades. Doghouse Rose aren’t interested in reinventing themselves. They’re interested in becoming a better version of who they’ve always been. It Gets Worse is proof that after more than a decade of melody and mayhem, they’re still finding new ways to surprise themselves and everyone listening.

Born To Break Even finds Doghouse Rose pushing beyond the boundaries of their signature sound while holding tight to everything that made fans fall in love with them in the first place. Touching on themes of grief, frustration, depression, resilience, and personal growth, Born To Break Even explores heavier emotional territory without sacrificing the joy, humour, and positivity that have always been at the band’s core. It’s a record that acknowledges life’s hard truths while refusing to let them have the final word. Older, wiser, and more self-aware than ever, Doghouse Rose continue to find ways to turn uncertainty into connection and hardship into celebration.
