History

Doe formed in early 2013 after Leel and Popyura, who had met 6 months previously through a classified ad, met guitarist Alessandro 'Alex' Sorenti and solidified the initial lineup. They released their self-titled EP and played their first show in March that year. This was followed by a string of UK shows, two more releases (Summer 2013 and Late Bloomer) and a European tour with their friends The Exhausts. Matthew Sykes joined on guitar after Sorenti's departure and the band released Sooner, an EP coupled with a lyric/photo zine.

The compilation LP First Four was released through Specialist Subject Records in 2014, with a US cassette version following in March 2015 via Old Flame. 2015 also saw the release of single Avalanche/Basement on Fierce Panda and a split LP with Johnny Foreigner, Playlounge and Doctrines on Alcopop! Records and Dog Kights Productions. Sykes parted ways with the band in September that year and was replaced by Dean Smitten prior to a UK tour with Dogs On Acid.

In March 2016, Doe entered the studio with producer Matthew Johnson (Hookworms) to record their debut full-length effort, Some Things Last Longer than You and in July released videos for the singles Sincere and Last Ditch. The album was released on 9 September 2016 to critical acclaim.
