Death In Public

Biometrics - Out Now!

About Me

The band formed from the heart of a shithole comprehensive high school due to being sick to the fucking back teeth of rich Grammar school bands singing about being hard done by, when, in reality, their mummys and daddies buy their super expensive equipment for them and drive them to their gigs in their fuck off petrol guzzling 4x4's... Fuck that shit. Thats not REAL. That, is FAKE....
____________________________________________________________ ________"With guitars as gargantuan as Mogwai and vocals with the bitchy attitude of Mansun at their anthemic best, DIP are onto a winner…" - Subba Cultcha
"There's hints of My Bloody Valentine in there and almost an air of aloofness amid the pretty snarling melody lines. I like it." - Steve Lamacq - Radio 1
"Death In Public provide sinister, brooding verses punctuated by ..frightening guitar noise. Some excellent ideas. " - Leeds Music Scene
"Reverb drenched guitars give way to tender melodies and the vocals float across proceedings with just enough malice evident." - Die Shellsuit, Die!
"Coupling the skyscraping atmospherics of Mogwai with late-80s indie, DIP are proving themselves to be genuine contenders for 2008." - Rock Midgets
"Guitar notes ring out like ghostly anthems separated by incidentally massive walls of noise. A pulsating melee of shaking distortion." - Manchester Music
"Death In Public live in a reverb world of fiery guitars and echoing doom. The band mix Godspeed style guitars mixed with doomy backdrops and atmospherics laden with thudding drums and impassioned vocals.." - Plastic Ashtray
"Wired darkness runs through spikey guitar lines, keeping a balance between fast pace and brooding sentiment. There's a post-rock power here that dullards like Keane and Razorlight could never understand." - Moderate Rock
"They’re all about big sound and blustery atmospherics, but do this with a pleasing lack of portentousness. (opening with I Really Hate Coldplay) Instead, they keep up a sharp pace and motor through their short set." - New Noise
"Atmospheric guitars wash across sound creating (whisper it) sonic cathedrals. Sounding like an angrier Muse, strings are thrashed with the passion of a band clearly trying to create something interesting. There is a passion in the vocals Kele Okereke could only manage in his dream of dreams...." - Click Music
