Since reforming in 2024 for the 20th Anniversary of their label, Sister 9 Recordings, lo-fi/post-punk/scuzz-rockers Dolium have been quietly active in the shadows—writing and recording new material for their comeback…

In their early days, the band caused quite a buzz on the UK underground music scene—first in 1999/2000 with their teen-angst fuelled sonic assault on the city of Sheffield—and then some years later, when their 2004 DIY’d debut single quickly caught the attention of BBC radio legend, John Peel. The rest, as they say, is history—all of which is documented in their now-critically-acclaimed LTD Edition 4 CD Box Set, The Products Of Our Own Demands And Commands.

Right here and now in 2026, the band are set to return to the scene with an awe-inspiring collection of furious punk rock tracks that could only exist off the back of years of frustration and disillusionment. The scene is set, the plans are shaping up and the band will unveil their next move imminently…
