After spending their first seven years writing, recording and frequently forgetting songs, the strong music scenes in Glasgow and Dundee provided DorA with the opportunity to support and befriend luminaries of the UK underground such as Jetplane Landing, Charlottefield and Oxes. Fans of the band also include Biffy Clyro, Blood Red Shoes and Reuben.

Having self-released a few EPs, including 2003’s “Subdivide”, to reasonable acclaim and decent amounts of airplay, DorA undertook the recording of their debut album in 2005. Despite numerous technical mishaps, a full re-recording and near terminal computer disaster, the album, titled “Ends”, finally saw the light of day in November 2006. Having been self-produced by the band and mastered in New York City by Alan Douches at West West Side, “Ends” was released on Predestination Records in conjunction with Dundee’s Pet Piranha label, with distribution taken care of through Cargo Records.

Having closed the chapter of their first six years together with the release of “Ends”, the band immediately began writing an arsenal of entirely new material in 2006. In October of the same year, DorA travelled to Salem, Massachusetts, USA, to record their second album with Kurt Ballou, guitarist in Converge and producer of many superb contemporary rock and metal albums by the likes of Cave In and Isis. The album was mastered by Nick Zampiello at New Alliance Audio, MA.
