No matter if you look at social networks or straming platforms, this band has way too little clicks, follows, this and that. But let's talk about their music. "Dogma" is the third EP by Laguna. Their first two releases were called "I" and "II". On those EPs the songs actually had names. Now, on "Dogma" the titles are simply called "Dogma I-III". Pretty mysterious.
