After a bittersweet farewell in 2023, Sydneys cult grunge-punk aka Shitty Grunge trio The Dead Love are officially back in AU for a run of intimate shows!! The band has announced their highly anticipated reunion Tour, marking a triumphant return to the stage and reigniting the fire that made them one of Australias most relentless and influential underground bands.
Formed in 2010, The Dead Love quickly carved out a reputation for their raw energy, DIY ethos, and emotionally charged songwriting. Over the years, theyve released three acclaimed albums, including the fan-favourite So Whatever and the genre-defying The Extinction of Unicorns, which earned widespread praise, Tripe J rotations, festival slots and Spotify playlist placements and covers across Rock Out, Local Noise, and New Music Friday to name just a respective few.
The Dead Love have toured extensively across Australia and internationally, sharing stages with acts like Grinspoon, Stand Atlantic, and DZ Deathrays. Their 2019 and 2022 UK/EU tours saw them play iconic venues in London, Manchester, Glasgow, and Leeds and many more building a loyal global fanbase.
Despite being near ignored by many parts of the Australian music industry, bassist Clint Ossington reflected, We succeeded in being a success, because we measure that by the experiences weve had all over the globe as a band
Their single Sugarcoat was hailed as a bit of a new grunge hit by Triple Js Linda Marigliano, while Richard Kingsmill praised their work: When its done right, its done right... and theyve done it really well
The bands final release before their split or hiatus tbc, Treading Water, was described by Phonotonal as nothing short of stunning, with tracks like Pulling Teeth and Antisocial showcasing compositional complexity that goes well beyond your typical song structure
The Dead Love are returning with new energy, alongside the same unapologetic spirit that made them a staple of Australias underground rock scene, the band has not commented on if this is a one of run of shows or not so best be quick as there are limited tickets available!
