Thee Deadtime Philharmonic

About Me

DEADTIME MANIFESTO.
Who are thee deadtime philharmonic?
They are the they, the them.
The dispossessed. The disillusioned. The bastard sons..the single mums. Filed under scum.
Deadtime cannot and will not be part of a scene or genre.
Relentless gigs all over the UK, including all the major cities, and the nowhere towns, where most bands dont bother to go has gained the band an ever growing army of dangerously devoted fans. Their militant working class stance caught the eye of Clash legend, Mick Jones who took Deadtime out as very special guests. Since the tour Murdoch has recorded a single and album with The Tribunes..out on honest jons records, containing Mick Jones rhythm section on Carbon/silicon.
Deadtime continue to recieve outstanding reviews for their high octane, raw, emotive live shows, as well as international and national radio airplay.
Based in ex mining town Swadlincote, South Derby. Still on its knees from Thatchers strangle hold on the working classes. Murdochs songwriting reflects the carnage left behind. Deadtime have a massive chip on their shoulder..welcoming you to knock it off.
