Interview With Bassist Tom Doyle

With thunderous tone, razor-sharp precision, and an instinct for hooks that hit just as hard as the riffs, Doyle has become a crucial force behind the band’s ever-evolving sonic identity.As Don Broco gear up to unleash their highly anticipated new album, Nightmare Tripping, this feels like the perfect moment to dive into the mind of the man anchoring the chaos. From his musical roots and influences to the gear and techniques that craft his signature sound, Doyle opens up about the journey so far and what lies ahead.This interview first appeared in Bass Musician Magazine in March 2026Go to jazzguitartoday.com and bassmusicianmagazine.com more interviews and lessons.
