Dr. Dog is a Pennsylvania-based American rock/psychedelic band. The lineup consists of Toby Leaman on bass guitar and lead vocals, Scott McMicken on lead guitar and vocals, Frank McElroy on rhythm guitar, Zach Miller on keyboard, Dimitri Manos, and Eric Slick on drums. The band’s style of rock has been influenced by older, iconic bands such as the Beatles and Beach Boys, as well as low-fi indie bands of the 1990s and beyond. They have released nine albums since the band’s inception in 1999. Their most recent album, Critical Equation, was released in the spring of 2018. The name of the band is credited to either Leaman or McMicken and does not hold any particular meaning, but was the result of brainstorming during a recording session. Leaman said in an interview with the Independent Philly: It was a long time ago and there were a lot of names being tossed around in the studio. That’s the one that stuck though. Obviously we liked it and there was something about it that appealed to us on some level. I think the fact that “dog” was in the title and there was already a band called “The Dogs”.
