Hailing from Yorkshire, now South London rooted, DEADLETTER channel the droll fury of The Fall and the lopsided rhythms of LCD Soundsystem into a strain of vehement post-punk, exploring the darker side of existence through a lens of narrative-driven levity. With members being firm friends from birth, there is an instinctive understanding of movement and danceability to their music worth its' weight in gold, whilst never cheapening the nuance and grit of their sound.
“One of London’s most exciting bands” – So Young Magazine
“DEADLETTER are one of the most exciting new acts out there.” – DIY"
“The next time someone says to me 'why aren’t the young bands writing about politics anymore’ I might well play them DEADLETTER” – Steve Lamacq
RY-GUY • www.instagram.com/ryguy.ryguy
RY-GUY is a South London-based artist whose music sits at the intersection of soul, psychedelia and art-pop, shaped by a deep sense of heritage and a commitment to telling stories often left unheard. RY-GUY is highly influenced by the soundsystem culture of his Guyanese / Caribbean heritage as well as art movements like Impressionism and Surrealism and treats songwriting as both personal expression and cultural document.
