The only thing better than an Oz band is one made up of a bunch of them.

That’s exactly what you’ll find with Dead Mall – the Newcastle supergroup made up of members of Split Feed, Jacob, Resident and lamphead.

Their debut single, Cough It Up, championed a mosh ready sound, vastly different to anything found in their other bands. They’ve kept the energy up on Eyes, which is sure to get the blood pumping. It’s evident the blokes spent much of the 2010s in the pit because Eyes is a clear celebration of the Oz heavy scene of yesteryear. It’s all killer, no filler. It’s punchy, fast-paced, full of energy, and just the thing for fans of early Hellions and Deez Nuts.

No doubt about it, Eyes will catapult Dead Mall right up the local music food chain. With a five-track EP soon on the way, we’re predicting these Novocastrians will dominate.

Breakneck riffs, huge hooks and a hefty dose of angst aren’t the only things on offer though. Eyes is also thematically rich and full of character, touching on the band’s experiences with toxic masculinity. Vocalist Ruari Burns’ gritty tones add that extra bit of life to the track, and so does the harmonious, yet slightly chaotic performance, of the band themselves. No doubt about it, Eyes will catapult Dead Mall right up the local music food chain. With a five-track EP soon on the way, we’re predicting these Novocastrians will dominate. Tune in now, or miss out on the chance to claim the ‘I knew them first’ bragging rights.
