Following hot on the heels of their impressive EP, this explosive local band's self-titled album brings all of their impressive armory of indie rock tricks to the fore.
Connecting the musical dots between Dunedin, Chicago, Auckland, London and Wellington, the long-awaited debut album from Die! Die! Die! is finally here! And it's a short, sharp burst of devastating rock n' roll as you'd hope.
Die! Die! Die! are a three-piece band originally from Dunedin but now based in Auckland, that in just over a year have solidified their reputation as one of NZ's most exciting new bands. With an emphasis on rhythm and volume, Die! Die! Die! create a driving sound that is immediate and visceral, while retaining enough melody to keep their songs in your head long after their short set [or in this case, album] has come to a close.
Following hot on the heels of their impressive EP, also titled 'Die! Die! Die!', their self-titled album brings all of their impressive armory of indie rock tricks to the fore. With short songs, often punctuated with shouts, handclapping and other "live" noise, the album is a sheer thrill, from start to finish. But blink and you'll miss it!
"A spastic, jagged melody, composed of equal parts gut-galloping chops and performative dynamics with the added bonus of songs"
- IMPRESS Magazine
"Unrelenting, and uncompromising. Die!Die!Die! will hypnotise you with heaviness and convert you with their catchiness."
- RIP IT UP Magazine
"Die!Die!Die! are the most exciting live band in New Zealand!"
- A LOW HUM (The NZ independent Music Press)
"If you are able to be suspended mid-air in the middle of a fireworks display - it'd be like watching Die!Die!Die! - loud, exciting, kinetic, and probably a little un-safe."
- Cheeseontoast.co.nz (The Auckland Live Music Zine)
