DITZ - 5 Reasons Why Brighton's Armageddon Misfits Are One Of The Best Live Bands Of The Past Decade

25 November 2025

Last Sunday Brighton‘s noizz sensation DITZ landed in my hometown of
Ghent, Belgium. The tenth time I witnessed their Dante Inferno exploits.

I’ll give you 5 reasons why DITZ are one of
the best live bands of the past decade.

1. Their live wall-of-trash-and-crash sound breaks every decibels-level law.
It’s beyond aural belief, but also scary, earth-shattering, and balls-and-brain
breaking. Don’t you love it when you can feel music really physically as if your
body gets electrocuted? I do. It makes me feel much livelier than just being
alive.

2. The demonic guitar duo of Anton Mocock and Jack Looker produce
an amount of kick-ass electricity that make roofs/walls of venues tremble.
Their non-stop chainsaw riff are fucking ace.

3. The rhythm section of Sam Evans and Caleb Remnant batters with
a Herculean vehemence. Ideal for an Armageddon battle of bands.
Hallelujah.

4. They’re big fans of Fugazi, At The Drive-In, Metz, Flipper, Black Flag
and other mean noise motherfuckers. All bands I dig too.

5. Last but not least there’s the psychotic vox and venue-filling presence of
Cal Francis (they/them). They rant, they stare, they’re charismatic off and on
stage, they are a bugaboo in Kate Moss disguise; and they are the perfect
she-devil to front this devilish band of maniacal misfits.

Mind you, without their mindfucking hullabaloo
it would be probably a whole different story.

At the start of this year they launched their 2nd LP,
titled Never Exhale one of the most baffling records I heard in a long time.

And their newest single is a nightmarish anti-AI jam.
