Deadshowws – Sounds of Oz

Hit that volume and take a moment to rock out to “I Should,” the latest single from Darkinjung Country/Central Coast alternative-rock act Deadshowws. This is an anthemic single which takes its cues from 2000s emo music but reinterprets the sound for modern listeners. In short, it’s bloody good.

“It’s a song about battling yourself to get better,” the band explained. “It’s a short version, recounting my experience with the people I love begging me to seek help and my struggle in doing so while wallowing in a self-made pit of hopelessness.”

Deadshowws will launch the single with a string of shows around their home state this April. Here are all the dates you need music lovers:

11 April 2025 – Lass O’Gowrie, Mulubinba/Newcastle
12 April 2025 – Gallery Bar @ Oxford Art Factory, Eora/Sydney
25 April 2025 – La La La’s, Dharawal/Wollongong

Central Coast punk act Deadshowws are back with a rocking new track “Baltimore.” With crunchy guitar chords and a chorus that’ll encourage you to sing along, it’s the perfect shot-in-the-arm for a lazy weekend.

Explaining the story behind the song, Deadshowws remembers that “There was a group of people at a show of ours and they were acting heaps cool and loud and better than everyone and they just pissed us off. And then we started playing the show and they were front row dancing like they were our best mates, which ties in with the lyrics in the chorus, ‘Slowish Soho dancing, everyone just seems so fucking fake’. And the rest of the song is about the ever-changing world we live in, and the constant technology that surrounds us.”

Deadshowws were carving out a reputation as one of the East Coast’s most exciting live acts after sharing stages with These New South Whales, Totally Unicorn, Pandamic and Bootleg Rascal. Now that New South Wales is out of lockdown, hopefully it’s not too long before we see them gigging again.
