Dexter and The Moonrocks released the debut album Friends That I Don’t Like on 2 October 2026, bringing their West Texas alternative-rock sound into a full-length format. The record arrived through Severance Records and Big Loud Rock, with songs that move between guitar-heavy rock, grunge and country.
Friends That I Don’t Like sets the release-day focus
The album is the band’s first full-length release. It includes Freakin’ Out, It’s A Lot, If You Could Talk and 12 Steps. That track group places the breakout single beside newer songs and the album’s named collaborations.
Why Don’t You Say So pairs the band with Avery Anna and arrives with an official video. 12 Steps features Treaty Oak Revival, while the surrounding songs extend the record’s guitar-led range. The album was released through Severance Records and Big Loud Rock on 2 October 2026.
Dexter and The Moonrocks bring Texas roots to the album
Dexter and The Moonrocks are an Abilene, Texas quartet rooted in the musical identity of West Texas. Their self-described Western Space Grunge approach combines alternative rock, country textures and the grit of grunge.
That blend gives Friends That I Don’t Like a clear connection to the group’s home region rather than treating the album as a clean break. The release carries guitar-heavy energy, driving rhythms and more reflective passages across the tracklist. The band’s official website presents the debut album for listening, placing the new record at the centre of its identity.
Fourteen tracks widen the Western Space Grunge palette
The album’s sequencing moves from Don’t Wanna Be High through hard-edged and reflective material before its closing songs. Songs including Mull It Over, Said What I Said and It’s A Lot represent the rock-forward side.
Complacent and Let It Hurt add a more emotional register. The Avery Anna collaboration broadens the album’s crossover reach, while Treaty Oak Revival adds another guest appearance. Together, the tracks connect the band’s Texas background with a deliberately wide musical palette.
