Abilene, TX 4-piece Dexter And The Moonrocks released their newest single “Ritalin” today (2/12) via Severance/Big Loud Rock. The angsty, distorted guitar-driven single underlines the “grunge” tone within their fan-coined “Western Space Grunge” brand. It arrives with a medicating” lyric video highlighting the song’s very personal tale of despair and addiction. Watch it HERE. 

“Ritalin” follows the surprise success of the band’s live cover of Tyler Childers’ “Messed Up Kid,” which averaged 900,000 streams per week following its release last fall, with Whiskey Riff claiming the band proved that the song “was destined to be a rock song.” 

The band’s first radio single “Sad in Carolina” was #1 on the Alternative chart for 7 straight weeks at the end of last year. Last week, the band kicked off a spring tour with dates across the Southeast and Midwest with a run through the end of April followed by festival appearances at Lovin’ Life Music Festival and Welcome To Rockville.
