Doe (/dəʊ/, previously stylised as DOE) is an indie/punk band based in London, UK. The current lineup consists of Nicola Leel (guitar, vocals), Jake Popyura (drums, vocals) and Dean Smitten (guitar).

History

Doe formed in early 2013[1] after Leel and Popyura, who had met 6 months previously through a classified ad,[2] met guitarist Alessandro 'Alex' Sorenti and solidified the initial lineup.[3] They released their self-titled EP and played their first show in March that year. This was followed by a string of UK shows, two more releases (Summer 2013 and Late Bloomer) and a European tour with their friends The Exhausts.[4] Matthew Sykes joined on guitar after Sorenti's departure and the band released Sooner, an EP coupled with a lyric/photo zine.[5]

The compilation LP First Four was released through Specialist Subject Records in 2014,[6] with a US cassette version following in March 2015 via Old Flame.[7] 2015 also saw the release of single Avalanche/Basement on Fierce Panda[8] and a split LP with Johnny Foreigner, Playlounge and Doctrines on Alcopop! Records and Dog Kights Productions.[9] Sykes parted ways with the band in September that year and was replaced by Dean Smitten[10] prior to a UK tour with Dogs On Acid.[11]

In March 2016, Doe entered the studio with producer Matthew Johnson (Hookworms) to record their debut full-length effort, Some Things Last Longer than You[12] and in July released videos for the singles Sincere[13] and Last Ditch.[14] The album was released on 9 September 2016[15] to critical acclaim.[16]
