Dozer is a stoner rock band from Sweden.
Dozer was formed in Borlänge, Sweden in 1995 by Tommi Holappa, Fredrik Nordin, Erik Bäckwall and Magnus Larsson, playing local youth centres and supporting any bands that came to their hometown. In 1996 Magnus Larsson left and Johan Rockner joined the band. In 1998 the band recorded a Split EP with the American band Unida. The EP was originally released by MeteorCity and re-issued in 2005.
While trying to secure a record deal they sent a demo tape to Man's Ruin Records, a highly influential label in the stoner rock scene at the time. Frank Kozik, the owner of Man's Ruin, was thoroughly impressed and the band quickly recorded an album. In 2000 Dozer released their first album In The Tail of a Comet, which was recorded for only $500. The band's second album Madre de Dios was released on Man's Ruin in 2001 along with a vinyl version on Molten Universe. Man's Ruin Records closed down shortly after the release.
I'm never getting out of bed
I pull the sheets over my head
In hopes that sleeping will stop the beating in my chest
You're gone when I wake up
Lethargic and losing touch
There's nothing left and I need the rest
But a cold and empty bed's just not enough
I don't want this too get too far out of hand
I'll do anything I can to keep her
I know I've got a guilty face
Dozing off in the wrong place
I just can't seem to last
But that's the past after today
You're looking over me
Appearances deceive
It's not an act, I really want you back
Life without you would just put me to sleep
I don't want this too get too far out of hand
I'll do anything I can to keep her
I blankly stare at a piece of paper
The words that it contains seem just as blank
A speech that I prepared but I can barely concentrate
I recite these lines a thousand times
And it never gets any easier to say
