BIO

Honey vocals, dreamy synth and vibrant guitar riffs are fast becoming the signature of indie four-piece Death by Denim. Formed in 2016, the band is made up of close friends, Palle Mazzulla, Nikolas Ilidias, George Gunson and Hamish Macarthur.

Breakout single ‘Wiggy’ made waves in 2019; a sensory escapade that saw the band hit number 3 on the triple j most played charts and ink a global management deal with Lemon Tree Music. Three national tours and a heap of sold out shows later, the band returned to WA to record their debut album, ‘Sleepless and Sunkissed’.

Riding high off the huge success of Sleepless and Sunkissed, which saw the band soar to new heights with over 3 million streams on Spotify, high rotation at triple j, a sold-out national tour, an international deal with Paradigm Talent Agency and showcases at BIGSOUND50 and SXSW, the band wanted to keep the momentum going and headed straight into the studio to record a new album - ‘Moonbow’.

‘Moonbow’ is a dynamic leap from their first album, it is packed full of rich melody and lyrics that push and pull. There’s a lot more class and precision with every moment. A sonically transformative journey: it grabs your hand and weaves you through the woozy, guitar-laced echoes, introducing you to a hyper colour world of introspective commentary and self-reflection. Moonbow is out now via the band’s new record label ADA/Warner.

PRESS QUOTES

“...Lifting moods with their unique brand of infectious indie-rock/pop, the band have been dropping top-shelf music for the past few years.”

— Beat Magazine

“With that laid-back guitar line, the Arctic’s vibe in the delivery, and the psych tinges here and there, how could you not love it.”

— Richard Kingsmill, triple j

“Did Ocean Alley check into the Tranquillity Base Hotel & Casino? No, it’s Death by Denim! This band’s been carving out their own sound successfully in their local scene and the time is ripe for everyone else to get wise.”

— Dave Ruby Howe, triple j

“…Death By Denim have continued to blow us away time and time again, and it’s been really great watching them rise through the ranks and become somewhat of a looming, national force.”

— Pilerats

“With a reputation for high energy sets and a stack of top quality tracks under their belt, we reckon DBD are gonna need to loosen their buckles to make space for a huge 2020”

— triple j
