DEADLETTER are a South London-based band shaking up the UK and European live circuits with their no-holds-barred take on post-punk. Their sound fuses sharp-edged guitars, funk-infused basslines, and bursts of noise, all anchored by fierce lyrical narratives that tackle the absurdities of modern life with wit and urgency.
Often likened to The Fall, Gang of Four, or LCD Soundsystem, DEADLETTER are far from imitators. Their identity is distinct — raw, socially charged, and rhythmically irresistible. Their lyrics drip with irony, dissecting themes of power, alienation, and everyday chaos through sardonic storytelling and spoken-word delivery.
On stage, DEADLETTER are pure electricity — unpredictable, provocative, and impossible to ignore. Their performances generate an infectious tension, where mosh-pit energy meets hypnotic grooves. The Heat! EP (2022) marked them as one of the most vital voices in the new wave of British post-punk. More than a band, they are a visceral experience.
