The Dover Affair on No-Rules Rock ’n’ Roll, Tracks vs. Drummers, and Using AI Honestly
The Rhythm Section Pod welcomes Memphis band The Dover Affair, singer/songwriter Mike Dover (drummer turned singer/songwriter), guitarist Randall X Rawlings, and bassist Adam G. The group discusses their long history playing together in multiple bands, how Mike began writing songs on guitar and GarageBand, and how producer Michael Babb (Babbylon Sound) pushed him to become the lead vocalist. They describe The Dover Affair as “no rules rock and roll,” touching on influences, songwriting without heavy theory, and the shift from cover-band work to original music. They also explain performing live with click tracks and programmed drums, debate AI’s role as a tool (especially for artwork), and stress being honest about AI use. The band mentions unreleased songs, an upcoming single “Enchanting,” and a plan for four five-song EPs.
