dora maar

Dora Maar is a 4-piece indie/screamo band from Brunswick, GA. For far too long, they've been drowned in their local hardcore scene, where every band sounds identical to the next. Dora Maar decided to break away from the trend, and try something different. Throughout their days, Dora Maar has been through many changes including the lineup, image, and genre. From the beginning, they have experimented with different styles of music, always striving to come up with something completely unique.
