Die! Die! Die! - Form

by Stephen McLeod on Thu, 2011/03/10 - 11:50pm

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 a great find, the venue was pretty much empty. I was embarrassed on behalf of my city for such a poor turn out for such a brilliantly formed band.

Hopefully, after the New Zealanders release their latest album ‘Form’ comes out on April 4th, the guys will surely get the attention they deserve, with a UK tour to follow hot on the heels.
