the dt's presents: Sun Shines Down

It's a radio friendly rocker punky song

the dt's were born out of an absolute itching to start fresh and began collaborating, writing, and recording their music at their home studios. Snag any of their live performances and you’ll uncover them shifting harmoniously from rock to blues, to power pop and beyond. Their modern pop approach and various vintage influences are key in their collective and individual songwriting skills. The duo is not afraid to experiment while incorporating their love of harmonies.

Their debut EP, You With Me (2022), earned local and regional acclaim, followed by the singles Refresh (2022) and All In My Head (2023). the dt’s Live at Lakehouse Studios captures their full-band power and reimagined takes on their songs.

The band's energy is surely felt in their single, "Cherry". The Jersey Sound described the track as "an exquisite sound that channels the raw urgency of punk with the tuneful joys of pop music.

the dt’s capped off 2024 with major milestones, from playing the legendary Bowery Ballroom to debuting at the coveted WAWY Showcase. So far in 2025, they've opened for well-known acts including Supersonic (Oasis tribute), Jake Thistle, and most recently Penelope Road as part of the North2Shore Festival.

With an electrifying live show and new music on the way, the dt's show no signs of slowing down.

"Sun Shines Down", the newest single from the band, is a feel-good power-pop track that is about knowing that things will get better. The single is a part of an EP that the band plans on releasing later this year.

The dt's presents: All In My Head

Discover this eclectic Power Pop/Alt Rock duo (David Cacciatore & Tom Losito)

About the song:

Lyrically, “All In My Head” is about the anxieties of relationships. But before the lyrics, however, first came the melody. The melody was originally a thought that had come to Dave. The melody that he was thinking of is the single-note guitar riff that you hear at the beginning of the song and is then reintroduced throughout. He always thought the melody was catchy, fun, and rhythmic, but he did nothing with it for quite some time. Once the pandemic hit, this was when we dove into songwriting.

Revisiting ideas, Dave came back to the melody for “All In My Head”. He had the guitar melody that he liked, so the next thing he knew he needed was chords underneath. He eventually landed on some chords that followed the melody very well. The melody for the lyrics was something that Dave discovered through trial and error; he kept revisiting the melody of the vocal until he was satisfied. Going into the studio, we were not completely satisfied with the vocal melody, but we decided to record it anyway because we knew we felt strongly about the song.

With the suggestion and encouragement of our good friend and Producer, Joey Papa, Dave revisited the vocal melody of the song. With great tenacity, Dave kept working on the melody until he found something that he thought was a great fit for the song. When Dave brought the new vocal melody back to the studio, everyone looked around in agreement that we had finally found the vocal melody we were looking for. Once the melody was set, Tom added in vocal harmonies and different guitar chord voicings/riffs to round out give that dt's pop sound we envisioned. The recording process for the song felt natural, yet experimental.

We laid down the bass and drums during a live performance in the studio with Rob Jennings on bass, and Frank Lettieri on drums. Originally, Dave had the idea of starting the song with only keys, but hearing Rob’s thumping bass, and the groove that Frank was providing on the drums, we decided that starting the song with the keys, bass, and drums was best. Dave and Tom would then later return to Joey’s home studio to perfect the guitar tones and vocals. It was also during this time that we experimented with synth sounds. 

During the choruses, we have a high-frequency synth going on in the background to give the song a lift. During the second verse, Joey added a cool almost “R2D2” type sound that adds a new feel to the song. During the bridge, Dave suggested that we add snaps in the beginning, which was reminiscent of the Arctic Monkeys. Later on in the bridge, Joey darkened the drums, which added to the pop element we were chasing after. It was also during this part that we strived to add another synth part. With Dave being a kid in a candy store on the synth, and collaboration with Joey and Tom, the three of us were able to find a synth tone and melody that fit the ending of the bridge, leading into the final chorus. During the final chorus of the song, Dave knew that he wanted to add something interesting, and not just another guitar solo. 

We are both fans of Charlie Puth, so the idea of adding a “vocal solo” or “call and response” at the end came to him. With the encouragement and tweaking of Joey and Tom, Dave was able to record what they were hoping to achieve. All of this is supported with layers of guitars and vocal harmonies to give the song a full and round sound. Overall, we are proud of this one as it represents the first glimpse of that modern meets vintage pop sound we have showcased and collaborated on with our live band over the last year.
