Here’s the Full Tracklist for Dexter and the Moonrocks’ New Album

Dexter and the Moonrocks, a band hailing from West Texas and self-proclaiming themselves as "four dumbasses," have released their debut full-length album, Friends That I Don’t Like, on October 2. The band, known for their unique "Western space grunge" sound, blends hard rock guitar, country-influenced confessional lyrics, and a strong sense of melody. With songs that echo the '90s Seattle rock revival, the band quickly rose to prominence after gaining an alternative radio breakthrough in 2024.

The fourteen-track album features a mix of original songs and collaborations with fellow country-rock artists. Two standout tracks feature guest appearances: "Why Don’t You Say So" with Avery Anna and "12 Steps" with Treaty Oak Revival. The latter, a duet of sorts, will bring back the "2000s divorced dad rock era," as teased by the band with a promise on Instagram.

Drummer Ryan Fox expressed his admiration for Avery Anna, stating that they connected over shared musical tastes, including Limp Bizkit and other bands. The collaboration with Anna, who demonstrated her rock goddess vocals on her cover of Ozzy Osbourne’s "No More Tears" and her own "Blood Runs Thicker," happened within 72 hours of their initial communication. Fox praised her vocal style, comparing it to Hayley Williams, Seether, Evanescence, and Paramore.

With grand ambitions, the band aims to set the tone for rock music in the next three to five years. To achieve this, they will embark on a tour of theaters and festivals across the United States, Canada, and Australia, beginning September 24 and continuing through February 2027.
