Asbury Park ‘Bummer’

Written By Mike Greenblatt
The dt's

The last time we wrote about Dave Cacciatore and Tom Losito—who perform and record as The dt’s—was when they were “Sorry Not Sorry,” their rather schizophrenic state-of-mind last January. Before that, in March of 2024, we premiered their “All In My Head” video.

Our favorite shore duo is back yet again only this time it’s a “Bummer,” man. Yet listen to “Bummer” and you realize the sound is diametrically opposed to the title. In using tour mates Joseph Santoro (keyboards) and James McIntosh (drums), they’ve actually achieved the antithesis of a bummer, a power pop masterpiece.
