LA/Seattle power-punk duo **Mr. Dinkles** return with their new single [**“Letter To Elon,”** ](https://zjwgpy.clicks.mlsend.com/ty/c/eyJ2Ijoie1wiYVwiOjEwOTI4NjUsXCJsXCI6MTg1MDA2Nzc0NjUyMjQxMTMwLFwiclwiOjE4NTAwNjc4Njk3MzAwOTM4NH0iLCJzIjoiZGUyODVhZmVjODcwMjUwNCJ9)
a sharp, reflective track pulled from their forthcoming 5-song ‘R.I.P.T.’ EP, out
June 5th on **Futureless.** Following the band’s recent releases [“IDRW” ](https://zjwgpy.clicks.mlsend.com/ty/c/eyJ2Ijoie1wiYVwiOjEwOTI4NjUsXCJsXCI6MTg1MDA2Nzc0NjYwNjI5NzM5LFwiclwiOjE4NTAwNjc4Njk3MzAwOTM4NH0iLCJzIjoiMThjZTI3ODMzZjdkMTJhOCJ9)
and [“Eat Chips and Talk Shit,” ](https://zjwgpy.clicks.mlsend.com/ty/c/eyJ2Ijoie1wiYVwiOjEwOTI4NjUsXCJsXCI6MTg1MDA2Nzc0NjY5MDE4MzQ4LFwiclwiOjE4NTAwNjc4Njk3MzAwOTM4NH0iLCJzIjoiMGM5YTRhNTVjODQ4NTFiZCJ9)
the single continues to build a body of work that examines the current political
and cultural climate through the lens of a young woman in her 20s—balancing dark
outcomes with a sense of irony and emotional clarity.

_“‘Letter to Elon’ is less about Elon himself, but humanity,” _the band shares. _“
Emphasizing to choose love and compassion over power and technology.”_

[⌊Mr. Dinkles⌉⌊Mr. Dinkles⌉[

With this release, Mr. Dinkles further establish themselves as a band capable of
turning observation into impact. They have the talent and vision to create music
that acts as a lens on the current state of the world, bringing the trials and tribulations
of modern life into sharp focus in an intimate and relatable way.

The band’s songwriting pairs introspective lyricism with rich, melodic sensibility—
at times as sweet and emotionally resonant as anything Neil Young has written. Categorizing
Mr. Dinkles isn’t easy. While “power-punk duo” is a starting point, their sound 
stretches beyond that—pulling in elements of post-grunge and garage rock while evoking
a sense of nostalgia from an era when singers and their guitars carried raw emotional
weight.

Their lo-fi production and drop-D tuning add texture and grit, while dynamic shifts
in pacing give the songs a fluid, almost cinematic quality—each turn landing with
precision and intent.

Comprised of **Mac Rettig** (vocals/guitar) and **Rocco Ramos** (drums), the duo
deliver a sound that feels both immediate and expansive. Rettig’s vocal presence
cuts through with urgency and vulnerability, anchored by Ramos’ driving, unrelenting
rhythms.
