GOD DAMN ANNOUNCE NEW SINGLE ‘DEAD TO ME’ TO BE RELEASED NOVEMBER 20TH THROUGH ONE LITTLE INDIAN RECORDS

UK TOUR AND DATES WITH RADKEY ANNOUNCED FOR OCTOBER/NOVEMBER

“The heaviest new band in the UK?  Crushingly so.” NME

“A relentless storm of roaring rock.” DIY

 

When Wolverhampton based noise-addicts God Damn played at the Reading Festival this summer they slowly crept the volume up until it was buzzing over the legal limit, bringing their set to screeching, boisterous end. When they played at Leeds Festival the next day, at the climax of their set, guitarist and singer Thom Edward knocked over some amps, turned to walk offstage, had a change of heart and instead returned to smash his guitar to bits, shards of wood piercing his hand. He then smeared the blood all over his face while stage managers screamed at him. NME included their performance in their top ten buzziest bands of the festival list. It’s not hard to see why.

Welcome to the world of God Damn.

Following the critically-acclaimed release of their ‘Vultures’ album earlier this year on One Little Indian Records, God Damn are already gearing up to assault our senses with a brand new recording entitled ‘Dead To Me’. Whilst the ‘Vultures’ album was a sprawling, epic slab of progressive noise-rock, ‘Dead To Me’ is a short, abrupt punch to the guts.

“We always push our boundaries and try to create new sounds,” explains Thom. “Following on from ‘Vultures’, we decided ‘Dead To Me’ should be more direct and in your f***ing face. It does just that.”

In true God Damn style, the words to ‘Dead To Me’ are as heavy and direct as the sounds.

“It’s about those moments when you see an old ghost in a very public place,” reveals Thom. “Then rather than cowering from the situation and pretending you haven’t seen one another, you confront each other and kill the horrible air dead. You then run away and cringe!”

Recorded by Ross Orton (The Fall, Arctic Monkeys, Drenge) at McCall Sound, ‘Dead To Me’ will be available November 20th on One Little Indian Records. Prior to that the band will be hitting the road in October and November for a series of their own gigs, plus dates with Missouri based punk brothers Radkey.
