Deadheading & Neverlove - Double Release Party
+ Gill

Wednesday 13th November 2024

Doors 7:30pm
Entry 14+

Deadheading - From the leafy dwells of suburban Bristol, Deadheading's raucous indie rock is enchanted and honest. The duo's output has been a sonic collage of excellently crafted pop songs buried beneath interjections of lo-fi grit, barely audible mutterings and the constant whirr of the tape recorder, culminating in an experience that feels like the frantic, jangle-pop equivalent of a found footage movie.

Neverlove - Rather than explode, neverlove collapsed into existence. The 5 individuals who make up the band have been dragged together, kicking and sulking, by a common interest in combining the sombre and the earnest. Apathy is contrasted by energy as tender, intricate melodies are replaced with anthemic builds as songs reach their crescendos. Lead singer Maddie's glassy, delicate vocals tiptoe over nursery rhyme guitar parts until she soars over buzzing layers of distortion and driving drums. The sound reflects a blend of emo and indie-rock, with twists of alt-rock, math-rock and alternative country.
