New Noise… The Deadsets

I got a very confident email about a month ago saying, “A great band making a lot of noise” and “Unsigned and very exciting”. Can’t really ignore that kind of bravado now can I. So I present to you fine people, The Deadsets.

The Deadsets

Coming out of Swansea with 18 months of writing and recording under their belts, The Deadsets are at the moment coming at you in full force and there’s no letting up. With a huge sound, best suited for stadiums, these guys take influences from the likes of Oasis, Kasabian, Lennon and echoes of the classic spaghetti western soundtracks. Within this recording process they put together a small EP promo for reviewing purposes and fucking hell its epic and so cleverly constructed. They have honed their craft down to a T and every single song is a statement of intent.

The band is currently in the middle of recording their debut album entitled “Hang The Romantics”, and if what I have heard so far is anything to go by, it’s shaping up to be an exceptional record. Mammoth sounds embroiled in a scope of Morricone and raw guitar punk. They have high ambitions and their music certainly reflects this huge fearless, self-assured attitude that they exude by the bucket load.

Don’t believe me? Check out this track ‘The Death Of Suzie Jane’
