Artist
A singer, two guitarists, a bassist, cellist and drummer. Half the band like to jump off things and pull shapes while performing, one stands like a pillar and smokes throughout, one clenches wood tight between her thighs, and the other is stuck behind the drumkit. But he's the most dangerous. You'd better believe it. The three founding members of Deadloss Superstar met at school and – in the grand tradition – were united though a shared love of rock music. After stealing a hardcore/punk-influenced rhythm section, they set about melding their sound from an exhaustive list of influences including Guns N' Roses, Queens Of The Stoneage, Muse, Alice In Chains, Black Flag, Deftones, New York Dolls and Iggy Pop. What they have arrived at may best be described as ‘stoner-punk'. Normally drenched in distorted guitars, but surprisingly melodic, their songs range from frenetic punky thrashers to majestic slow-burning epics. The memorably enthusiastic live show comes with passion, energy and a firm commitment to entertainment. But not, we should make clear, in the manner of tribute acts such as The Darkness: this is an altogether more sinister affair, with themes of murderous love, drug-fuelled insomnia, and the end of the world. They've been playing together for almost four years now, and it's safe to say they mean it. They have often been described as sleazy. Musically speaking, of course.
