deathcrash are a four-piece slowcore band from London. Despite coming to prominence with other South London sensations such as Black Country, New Road, Jerskin Fendrix, Sorry and Black Midi, deathcrash have always had a distinctly mysterious energy about them, the shy kids in the corner quietly constructing something grand. 

They released their debut album Return in January 2022, a statement record standing at 65-minutes, hailed by Loud and Quiet as “an embarrassment of musical riches that is only matched by the depth of evocations that haunt the record”.

Not ones to rest, the band decamped to the Outer Hebrides just 6 months after this release to record Less, their sophomore record that is a focused and lean progression of their sound.  Less garnered high praise from Pitchfork, Line of Best Fit, Brooklyn Vegan, So Young, Louder Than War, and Loud and Quiet and had tracks featured on BBC Radio 1 as well as more broadly across stations in the UK and the EU. It reached 76 in NACC's Top 200 in the U.S. 

The band’s live show is visceral, intense and precise. Credited as Far Out Magazine’s Best Live Band of 2023, their London headline shows have always sold out, performing at Chats Palace, the Institute of Contemporary Arts and at the renowned Fabric nightclub. Their recent album tour saw the band playing a series of unusual spaces for their music: Bristol’s old cinema The Cube, Manchester’s infamous White Hotel, Leeds’ Mill Hill Chapel, and Glasgow’s Centre for Contemporary Arts. The band has toured with Codeine, The Jesus and Mary Chain, and Black Country, New Road.
