The increasingly inventive avant-garage post-punk outfit DANA released their self-titled debut record in 2017 (Heel Turn Records), the 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘰𝘴 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘰 EP in 2018 (Quality Time Records) and their second studio album 𝘎𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘈𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘉𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘺 (produced and engineered by guitarist Chris Lute) in the fall of 2019 (Heel Turn Records). The latter earned praise as a "grungy, punky, messy affair, a trashy and tumultuous fight between genres" (𝘔𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘤 𝘛𝘢𝘱) and as a "noisy, skronking good time" (𝘔𝘙𝘙). Dubbed a "Band to Watch" and "the best band in Ohio", DANA is ever earnest, always fun, chaotic and cathartic, with a live show that is something to behold. DANA “live to push the envelope of sonic manipulation, pulling apart weirdo hardcore and bombastic rock ‘n’ roll to create their own brand of punk” (Post Trash).
