Deadbeat Descendant
Formed in spring 2004, deadbeat descendant locked themselves away in Studio 284 with the simple mission of creating a soundtrack to a great night out. When they emerged 4 months later their sound was already distinct and defined. Stomping, clattering but above all danceable tunes with lyrics and killer riffs that would stick in your head on the bus ride home. In the summer of 2005 the band took a residency at Brighton 's Freebutt, putting together line-ups of some of Brighton's finest bands and earning deadbeat descendant a reputation as first class entertainers. They can mostly be found in Brighton and London availaing themselves of the facilities.

Descent on New York
In February this year they came to the attention of our American cousins thanks to word of mouth and the efforts of descendant New Yorkers they were offered a series of dates & venues in the city. They performed the Descent on New York in late April 2006 winning friends on the New York circuit and making the playlists of East Village Radio, WRSU Radio in New York and Richmond Indie Radio in Virginia.
