Starting off the year in typically high gear, South London alt-rock newcomers Dead Air (who we spoke to around Bloodstock 2023) will release their riff-heavy, anthemic, and riotous new single “Die” on 10th January 2025.
The track is the latest to be taken from their forthcoming sophomore EP, Elements, set for release on 7th February 2025 via Fly Tip Records with vinyl preorders live now.
Alongside the single news, the band are pleased to reveal a run of Feb/Mar 2025 UK tour dates, plus an appearance at FOCUS Wales 2025, with tickets on sale now.
Commenting on the new single, front man Reuben says: “‘Die’ was the second half of a two part track—whether the first part comes out we’ll see, but ‘Die’ follows an individual who wakes up in the afterlife after taking their life. Confused and distraught by what they see, they reflect on the actions they have taken. Cursing themselves, they wish to return back to the world of the living.”
“Big up Rob Wilkes for getting us in the studio and leaving us to do our own thing,” says a grateful Moonasar of the initial writing sessions for Elements. “We spent a few weekends locked away writing day and night, sleeping in the control room on blow up mattresses. It was the grimiest dream come true. Waking up to fresh coffee and cigarettes every day we powered through song after song and came out with four tracks.”
