“...Brian Dunne is one of New York’s finest singer/songwriters, and an obvious artist-to-watch..."
- Atwood Magazine

"Brian Dunne’s Loser on the Ropes is one of the sleeper albums of the year, a collection of melodic yet punky dissertations on finding the perseverance to grow old — if not up.”
- Rolling Stone

"Brian Dunne is a singer and songwriter who’s making music to last."

Out now on Kill Rock Stars, Brian Dunne's Loser On The Ropes (Deluxe Edition)! Get ready to go another round with the acclaimed 2023 album as it receives an expanded release! On Loser On The Ropes (Deluxe Edition) an early alternate version of “Optimist” sits alongside two never-before-released tracks “Getting To The Main Point” and “Here In Nothingness," which has additional vocals by Brennan Wedl. The title track’s demo closes out the album, lead by the Blackbird Studio version of “The Kids Are All Grown” featuring Caitlin Rose. 

"Originally I wanted Loser On The Ropes to be a double album. I was talked out of this by my manager Jessica, who said it would be a financial disaster, and now I'm back to prove her right. These two additional songs were poised to kick off the second record, and I only held them back because we physically couldn't fit anymore music on the LP. We've also added two recordings from the demo sessions when I thought the album was going to be a bedroom pop record, as opposed to the giant summer blockbuster behemoth it became."
