Good To Die Records & Chop Suey Presents: Dead Kill (Record Release)

Dead Kill
Like all good punk songs, when Deadkill starts writing, the edict, according to guitarist Michael Stubz, is simple: “Trim the fat.”

“Are we getting to Point A to Point B as efficiently as we can? A lot of songs are so much more complicated than they should be. I just want Deadkill to be like a buzzsaw.”

If you’ve been lucky enough to hear this Seattle quintet’s debut 7″, you already know that they’ve accomplished that little mission handily. But what was once the sound of a nice table saw has on the band’s debut full-length been blown up to the size of an industrial-strength tree-feller.

Recorded with the mighty Matt Bayles (Mastodon, Russian Circles, Sandrider) at his Red Room Recording in Seattle, No, Never! is as unfuckwithable a punk statement as you’re likely to hear this year. The 14 songs are no frills, no bullshit blows against evils both internal and external. Along the way, the band sets itself among the pantheon of other modern punk greats like Ceremony, Fucked Up, and Trash Talk.

No, Never! is also a further expression of how Deadkill is becoming a cohesive unit from the single-minded attack of its music to all sharing in the songwriting duties. Everything Deadkill puts its collective back to comes out sounding as furious, sweaty, and spiky as ever.

The buzzing saw that is Deadkill is attracting plenty of attention around the Pacific Northwest and up and down the West Coast, where the band has shared the stage with White Lung, OFF!, High on Fire, and The Spits. Now, it’s time for the rest of the world to sit up and take it. [RH]
