Dead Soft
"a fuzz-drenched, hook-laden sound that recalls everything from grunge to classic ’80s alternative to power-pop." - Stereogum
"fuzzed-out alt-rock that’ll take you right back to the ’90s but sounds great in 2019 too." - Brooklyn Vegan
"The indie-punk three-piece have all the downer emotionality of grunge and ’90s alternative, but still manage to sound loud and effective rather than listless. Their choruses hit hard, even if their verses often feel subdued — a tactic used successfully by bands like Weezer and Microwave." - Kerrang
British Columbia's Dead Soft have been a source of growing excitement in the Canadian underground for longer than most bands ahead of their full-length debut. Like their late ‘80s and early ‘90s forbearers in the Pacific Northwest, the three-piece traffic in a sound that blends a penchant for fuzzed out noise and a rough hewn intensity with a sharp melodic sensibility, and have built a burgeoning reputation through live shows and constant touring, sharing stages with artists like Bully, The Breeders, Broken Social Scene, The Courtneys and Great Grandpa, as well as releasing a stream of DIY EPs and cassettes.
The band’s forthcoming LP, Big Blue will be released October 18th on Toronto indie stalwart Arts & Crafts, and the album is destined to bring Dead Soft to the attention of the wider music world. The culmination of almost three years of work, the Big Blue refines and focuses the elements that made the band’s early releases so promising while blowing up their cathartic, fuzzed-out power pop to a massive scale. Through a creative process beset with hardships and uncertainty the album is a testament to Dead Soft’s unwavering commitment to their vision, and a powerful guitar record about taking a leap of faith to find the life you want.
