die! die! die! Latest News

Dananananaykroyd, Die! Die! Die!, Future of the Left, Kasms and Rolo Tomassi at the one festival? Surely not. Infact, I almost don’t want to write anything about the East London artrockfest that is Offset, as my teeth are clenched together with jealous rage. I got a message through my last.fm account detailing who and what the fuss was all about, only to realise that it was taking place...
I know, I know. You’ve read everyone else’s lists already and you’re bored to death by them. I don’t blame you. Instead consider this my personal carthasis and a way of reflecting on the year. I’ve chosen my top five Christmas songs/live performances/albums of 2008 and of course, I did my [festive fifty] the other day. I’m saving the albums list for tomorrow so...

When I interviewed Andrew Wilson from Die! Die! Die! a few months ago we spoke briefly about the state of music in Dunedin. He had this to say, “It’s probably the best I think it’s been since I left there when I was about 18.” A few months later I met up with Andrew in Wellington and quizzed him about some bands I should check out from Dunedin. One of the bands he...
Die! Die! Die! w/ Peace War and The Bemsha Swing, Saturday, November 15, 2008, Zen, Auckland Die! Die! Die! is one of the few New Zealand bands of true international quality. On both record and live they are flawless; their huge fan base both home and abroad proves this.

Carry Me In Your Backpack    Total carnage and garage rock riffs with splintering drums set the backbone for the songs of London duo FRIENDSHIP.

As is the case with this series, we’ve hand-selected a number of tracks from the archives that you may have missed or forgotten about, and reintroducing them to the light of day. So, check it out and download any tracks you don’t have to beef up...

die! die! die! Reviews

When Die! Die! Die! last came to Glasgow, I went along in excited attendance. Having bought their debut LP direct from the label whilst on a vinyl-consuming splurge purely because it was a new release from a band I’d never heard of before, I was completely won over by how straightforward, brilliantly catchy, but also quite edgy they sounded. Unbelievably, despite what appeared to me to be...
