Just over a year after the band first infiltrated YouTube with “After Midnight,” L.A. quartet Dorothy’s back-to-basics, pedal-to-the-metal blues-rock is winning plenty of fans. Especially the kind that pay the bills. That single was used by a makeup line, and “Wicked Ones” (off last year’s self-titled EP) was omnipresent this year in promos for the MLB channel and ads for a sports drink. The new single “Raise Hell,” a three-minute fuzz grenade, is being used in a commercial to raise Pandora’s profile. While it’s nice to know that music that moves bodies can also move product, Dorothy, who recently became the first rock band signed to the Roc Nation label, has more on the way. Just winding up a tour supporting Miguel, the quartet — singer Dorothy Martin, drummer Zac Morris, guitarist Mark Jackson and bassist Gregg Cash — have a full-length album in the works. If you grabbed EP when it was a free download, or if you’ve seen Dorothy live, you know they sound better when not limited to 30-second spots.
