Our debut album, cleverly dubbed Doctor Squid, was recorded by at Downtown Athens Recording Company and released Oct 3, 2008. You can get it at any of our shows for just $7, or buy it online through CD Baby, or through iTunes or Amazon mp3. If you'd like to get your toes wet before you dive in, you can also download the single or check out some streaming tracks over on our media page. Here's what some other people seem to think of the record:
Infectious and just a little whimsical. It's perfect for the upcoming summer days, and once you hear them, they'll
go straight to your iPod... Reminds me of that great moment when you've got your iPod on shuffle, and this really great
song comes on, and no one knows that you're having a dance party in your head. That's Doctor Squid... Absolutely meant
to be.
-The Grady Journal
Band member Mark Spurlock describes Doctor Squid’s music as “ridiculously catchy pop/rock” from Athens, Georgia.
He adds that some fans have compared Squid music to “early Weezer.” Don’t know about that, but he hit the first
part right on the proverbial head...The young and very-young-at-heart should get a kick out of this.

Very catchy alternative pop as evidenced by the bouncy "On My Way." The loud "Whoa" chorus gets stuck in your
head pretty quickly. "Take A Look" makes good use of those background "oohs" and hand claps with a driving bass
line. The buzzing guitar and gentle harmonies of "Things We've Chased" and "Victoria" is juxtaposed by verse that
describe a set of interesting situations about women. The funkier songs here have a studied sloppiness to them
that is both compelling and laid back ("Down By The River" and "Atomic Reaction"). One of the best songs "3am Electric"
has a persistent rhythm and great lyrics.
-Powerpopaholic
Their upbeat music always fills me with joy, and their songs are ridiculously infectious... Trust me, seeing one of
their shows is such a joyful experience that you just can't stop the excitement! The group of dedicated fans they have
that know all of the words to their songs can attest to this. As one of my five current Athens favorites, Doctor Squid
is certainly the band to see if fun is what you desire.
