DEAD FREIGHTS – “HOW MUCH TO CALL ME DADDY?”
A SPILL EXCLUSIVE VIDEO PREMIERE
Rising indie-rock outfit Dead Freights are pleased to announce a brand new release with the arrival of “How Much To Call My Daddy” lifted from the upcoming debut album due in January 2024.
Signed to Gary Powell’s (The Libertines) 25 Hour Convenience Store Records, “How Much To Call My Daddy'” delivers two minutes and eleven seconds of pure, unadulterated hi-octane rock and roll. It is an adrenaline fueled rush to the cerebral cortex and the band’s live shows are a testament to that, having toured the UK in 2022 with The Libertines, followed by a series of successive sold out London shows.
They say: “‘How Much to Call Me Daddy’ takes you on a journey through the darker regions of masculinity and whilst again it exemplifies the sheer raw energy of the band, it also lays it’s moral compass on the table regarding questions of ‘toxic masculinity’.”
Gary Powell adds: “The Dead Freights are a unique beast, in that they have taken all of the ‘best bits’ that influence them musically and otherworld creatively, to produce a body of work that encapsulates whom they are as individuals and as a band. It is an absolute pleasure to not only sign them to my label 25 Hour Convenience Store because of the their creative brilliance but also to produce them – and there was no better backdrop for this than our own Albion Room Studios.”
Dead Freights create anthems for the generation Z of misfits, punks and goths, driving the reemergence of guitar music in what finally constitutes a genuine global revival. Their music is of beauty and violence, sonically and lyrically, that’s brought the likes of Steve Lamacq to their first east London headline in the spit and sawdust Road Trip bar, to the Future Sounds of Jack Saunders, through the old fashioned romance of word of mouth. Their aim is to unite every member of the crowd in singing every word at future Dead Freights shows, no matter how different their identity and story, because that’s the point in what’s happening with this scene, and Dead Freights could be its next biggest protagonist.
Dead Freights hope to take you on a journey of discovery that will eventual lead you to their album launch in January 2024.
