Dial The Gain is a no‑rules, genre-fluid rock/metal project built by musicians Matt Baer and Jeremy Hood, formed in 2025 and run with the same attitude they track with: if it hits hard, it stays.

Their debut full-length album, Bigger Than You, dropped April 15, 2026 — a heavy, 17‑track barrage that swings from punchy modern metal to raw, riff-first rock. The record features standout cuts like “Inflation Nation,” “Keep Pushin’,” “Ghostcatcher,” “With Your Love,” and “Can’t Ignore You.”

Dial The Gain’s philosophy is simple: no genre boundaries, no corporate polish, no pretending. They write what they want, track what they want, and share the process straight from the studio — riffs, sessions, mistakes, and all — through their Facebook updates.

Their sound leans into the heavier side of rock and metal, but they treat “genre” like a suggestion, not a rule. Big guitars, honest vocals, and that independent, DIY grit define their sessions.

They’re the kind of band that understands the difference between gain and tone — backing off the saturation just enough to make the riffs punch harder and breathe cleaner.

Dial The Gain is exactly the kind of project the indie world needs — two musicians building something loud, and completely theirs. No rules, no boxes, just real tracks, real grit. The INDIE Musician Hub is proud to feature artists who push, experiment, and show their work — and Dial The Gain fits The IMH’s spirit perfectly.
