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
