Florida’s DigDog Gives Us ‘One Guarantee’ With Latest Single

November 26, 2021

Jacksonville, Florida trio DigDog are proof that you don’t have to be born in a particular place to call it your home, and likewise, blood doesn’t make a family. True, Brad Metz is a Florida native, but his bandmates Alexei Dotsenko, and Jack Ringca are, respectively, from Russia, and, “a man of the world”.

Their new single, ‘One Guarantee’, sees the three come together with an approach to music that doesn’t just showcase their individual musical talents, but also their own influences and inspirations.

First single from the album is the more simply named, ‘Giving’, and that’s where the simplicity ends.

Some of my earliest memories are of me in front of the TV dancing along with the penguins in Mary Poppins and riding on my dad’s back pretending to be Aladdin. As I got a little older, my weekends were full of cartoons like Recess, Pepper Anne, Doug, The Weekenders, etc on Disney’s One Saturday Morning. So, when my family asked if I wanted to join them in the Happiest Place On Earth over my sister’s reading week break, you all know I said yes!
