Band: NOTHING
Who: Philly shoegazers,
shoegazing since 2010.

Track: NEVER COME NEVER MORNING
The final single from their 6th LP, named
A Short History Of Decay, landing this Friday.

TUTV: Forcible guitar/drum/bass dynamics dominate this,
both a pretty melodic and capricious jam, having your aural
attention all the way. Shoe-pop-gaze excellence.

Band: LIFE
Who: Audacious post-punks
from Hull, UK.

Track: THE DOLLYWAGON
New piece from their upcoming 4th longplayer, called Abstract / Natural.
It’ll hit our stereos on June 19th. Tracklist and more details here.

Mezz Sanders-Green (frontman): “‘The Dollywaggon”s universal theme
is about letting go and moving on – new adventures and beginnings. I wrote
the lyrics whilst doing a long-distance walk, turning what I saw into characters
and scenes.”

TUTV: LIFE go fast-forward, full steam ahead from the first second and never look back. Their intoxicating buzz is motorized by a salvo of riffs, persistent drumming, and adrenaline-pumping vocals. They slow down somewhere in the middle, but don’t worry, it’s the harbinger for an abalaze climax.

Classy corker.

alt indies from the UK.

Track: AMONG US
Single from their sophomore album, baptized
Existence Is A Bliss. Out this Friday.

TUTV: These fast-rising mavericks excel in constructing orchestral, post-punk
symphonies, enriched with some steamy saxophone glow, in 3 and a half minutes
as they show again here on this wowing belter.

Sax it up right here.

Band: LEZARD
Who: Flamboyant Belgian
guitar pop team.

Track: COLTRANE & XTC
Opener from their brand new album,

get drunk to the high-octane groove, the inexhaustible beats, and
zippy vocals.

E-cstatic stunner.

DEADLETTER – British Post Brexit Punks Share New Funk Punk Chant ‘MERE MORTAL’ From Their Upcoming Debut LP

Posted on by JL

Daily noise that works faster than any stimulant

24 April 2024


(Press photo via FB)

Band: DEADLETTER

Who: Hailing from Yorkshire, now South London rooted, this band channels
the droll fury of The Fall and the lopsided rhythm of Gang of Four into a strain
of vehement post-punk, exploring the darker side of existence through a lens
of narrative-driven levity.

New single: MERE MORTAL
Piece from their long-awaited debut LP Hysterical Strength,
out on 13 September. More info here.


New album artwork

Zac Lawrence (frontman) about the LP: “It’s punishing but there’s also fucking beauty out there. Being able to take something disgusting or disgraceful and make it sound nice through the power of music, that juxtaposition appeals to me.”

TUTV: With two bang-on EPs and a couple of striking stand-alone singles, DEADLETTER already earned their place in the impressive cast of post-Brexshit bands like shame, Ditz, Gallus, Lambrini Girls, Bad Nerves, black midi, Black Country New Road and more.

Mere Mortal is another funk punk DEADLETTER chant. It grooves and moves, rattles
and rambles while Lawrence unleashes another stream of thoughts like a words waterfall and that sultry sax pops up now and then again. There’s always a sonic light shining at the end of the tunnel that calls life. Bingo!

Wake up, people.
DEADLETTER is coming
on, really strong.

Band: DEADLETTER

Who: Hailing from Yorkshire, now South London rooted, this band channels
the droll fury of The Fall and the lopsided rhythm of Gang of Four into a strain
of vehement post-punk, exploring the darker side of existence through a lens
of narrative-driven levity.

New single: DEGENERATE INANIMATE

TUTV: With two bang-on EPs and a couple of striking stand-alone singles, and now this new stunner, Deadletter have enough material to fill and release a baffling album to wake up the indie junkies who had a long holiday on Mars and never heard of them. We’ll see, we’ll hear. For now, my ears have this new funky-groovy-saxy chant named Degenerate Inamitate on repeat. So should your ears too.

Tune in.
Sing along.

George Orwell Is Back – Discover Brand New Single ‘FALL OF THE BIG SCREEN’ By DEADLETTER

Posted on by JL

22 January 2021

Band: DEADLETTER

Who: Hailing from Yorkshire, now South London rooted, this band channels
the droll fury of The Fall and the lopsided rhythm of Gang of Four into a strain
of vehement post-punk, exploring the darker side of existence through
a lens of narrative-driven levity.

Pick: FALL OF THE BIG SCREEN

Zac Lawrence (frontman): “We are being sold free choice at the click of a button
when in reality our options are shrinking as monopolistic corporations haunt every
item of consumption, as we are algorithmically given a narrow margin of preference
which blinds us to any true alternative. The Fall of the Big Screen is imminent, and
this is our cry of understanding.”

Score: Imagine George Orwell fronting The Fall back in Nineteen Eighty-Four
scaring the world with a grim, futuristic vision of humankind about to collapse
in 2021 due to a deadly virus. Would we have believed those post-punk visionaries?
I don’t think so. But here we are today, with Deadletter confirming the science-fiction
like predictions coming true with a somber psych drone that moves and grooves like
Big Brother on a destructive mission.

It’s 1984 all over again…

London’s Up And Coming Rockers DEADLETTER Nail It With ‘GOOD OLD DAYS’…

Posted on by JL

New sonic impulses…

4 May 2020

London’s up and coming gang DEADLETTER just released their rad new single
‘GOOD OLD DAYS’ sounding more like the past has been an awful mess.

My oh, my. The pumping bass riff intro hits your aural antenna from the get-go
and never looks back. Add a mind-bending beat, metallic guitars, caustic vocals
and a fuck you good old days chorus and you know this a stone gold stunner. And
along the way that relentless bass hook infiltrates your head and starts a punchy
party of its own in there. This is stupendous post-punk funk mixing Gang Of Four‘s
cutting guitar stoccados and Wire‘s dynamics. Mind you, Deadletter turns 1980 into
this generation’s off-kilter alt-rock with most exciting bands like The Wants, Sorry,
Black Midi and Porridge Radio.

Deadletter has all the exciting sonic ingredients to hit
the scene big time. No doubt about that.

Here’s why…
