Dot.s unveils 'Riding in Cars with Boners'

Dot.s' singer and guitarist Ryan James dropped by this morning with a new video for "Riding In Cars With Boners" from the group's debut album, Jelly Fiss, due out in 2015.

They called it what? James took a few minutes to talk about the song and everything that inspired the song's title."

"I like writing about people who seem chemically different from everyone else. This and most of the songs on the record are about a percentage of people I've met that have this kind of spark deep inside their blood, more so than simply being a big personality, or a weirdo, or a crazy. I'm talking more about the kind of people who goes to AA meetings for the people watching, and don't tell anyone about it, because it's an experience that belongs to them and no one else. When I meet people that fit into this margin, it feels like they're breathing a different air than everyone else. Like, all the blood in their body was sucked out, and replaced with something better.

The song title is without a doubt the dumbest thought I've ever had. I needed people other than me to know the stupidest thing that's ever come out of my head."

So there you have it.
