Bio

A band with a purpose, Pale Blue Dot writes songs about the things that truly matter. The group does not concern themselves with ego and heartache, focusing instead on the state of the world. Their songs encapsulate a sense of empathy that is both comforting and infectious, causing all who encounter them to work harder at leading more compassionate lives. The band wants to make you think as much as they make you feel, and it’s their dedication to influencing positive change that sets them apart from their peers.

Anyone who listens to Pale Blue Dot should consider themselves an explorer. The band’s catalog is an audio odyssey propelling the audience toward a deeper understanding of themselves and their place in the universe. Their creativity reflects Henry David Thoreau’s theory that music is a tether to the earliest of times and the latest, which grants us the unique gift of perspective. Being alive is about much more than the things we want, and Pale Blue Dot brings that understanding to listeners with catchy melodies backed by razor-sharp lyricism.

“The Virginia-based rock band subverts expectations at every turn while continuously delivering catchy, memorable songs that stick to listeners’ bones like butter to popcorn. Their music is expansive and immersive, welcoming those who are seeking originality with open arms and big smiles. It’s an exercise in what rock and roll can be rather than a sequel to everything it is, and it’s through the band’s willingness to take chances that the group sets themselves apart.” (Substream Magazine)

"The instrumentation and unexpected bursts of utter pop-bliss take Pale Blue Dot from run of the mill rockers to a truly unique musical juggernaut....Anatomy shows Pale Blue Dot in full control of their artistic and creative mission- hellbent on rock and roll domination without sacrificing their integrity to fit into a predefined mold of what others may think rock should sound like nowadays. An easy task it is not- but Pale Blue Dot stand proud to the fact that they have produced an absolute monster of an album."- Joe Hughes (Alternative Nation)

"Many asked what kind of music would come out of the Trump era, and without a doubt Anatomy is an injection of compassion which we so desperately need."- Cody Conrad (The Big Take Over)

“Anatomy” is astounding to the say the least."- Orella Chichester (Audible Addixion)

"Pale Blue Dot may turn out to be an interesting band to follow. They have a good base of work and support from musicians with considerable experience."- Joe Saeger (The Flat Circle)
