All Dogs singer and guitarist Maryn Jones is 2016's embodiment of a renaissance shredder. Jones joined Saintseneca in 2011, began playing as All Dogs in 2012 with Amanda Bartley, and recently released her mesmerizing, spooky debut, The Offer, as her solo project Yowler (she'll return to Portland as Yowler to open for Frankie Cosmos next month). She also sings the absolutely stunning Radiator Hospital track "Fireworks" off 2014's Torch Song. Last year All Dogs released their first full-length, Kicking Every Day, which sounds like pop songs that fell down a staircase—a little bruised, but despite the injuries, still sunny, melodic pop songs. All Dogs sounds like endurance: making it through a cold winter and seeing the first dewy blooms of spring, healing emotional wounds and starting to feel good again. As a side note, I really hope they're named after the best movie ever All Dogs Go to Heaven. CIARA DOLAN
