DIE! DIE! DIE!

Connecting the musical dots between Auckland, Chicago, New York City, and London, Die! Die! Die! are one of the best bands to emerge from New Zealand in over a decade.

With an emphasis on pummelling, primal garage-punk rhythms shot through with shard-like guitar work, Die! Die! Die! create a driving sound highly reminiscent of Warsaw, Therapy? and Wire that is utterly immediate and visceral, melodic and danceable. They recorded their debut album with Steve Albini (Nirvana, Pixies, Shellac) at his studio in Chicago in the summer of 2005, before heading to the UK and Sweden.

Concurrently, the band released their debut eponymous six-track EP, recorded with Dale Cotton (HDU, Dimmer), in New Zealand. Having recently toured the US as sole support to Aussie compatriots Wolfmother and a stunning debut at March 2006's SXSW Festival, the band was offered a high profile residency in New York City in August 2006 that generated a massive amount of industry buzz.

Die! Die! Die! then toured the UK to rave reviews from NME, Kerrang!, DisOrder and many others in support of their first UK single, in August-September this year. The band's new EP, ‘Locust Weeks’, is being released in Australia this November, Be prepared for a blast from Die! Die! Die! as they discharge their new material at HOMEBAKE this year.
