About to Break: <strong>DEADLETTER</strong>

Yorkshire-born newcomers DEADLETTER have moved on from busking around town centres in their early teens to making a racket in South London instead. The six-piece - newly signed to SO Recordings - are about to put their flag firmly in the ground with debut EP 'Heat!', coming this November.

Hi Zac, how's it going? What are you up to today?
Hello, we're getting ready to support Tropical Fuck Storm at Studio 9294 this evening.

When did you realise you wanted to make music, did you grow up in a musical household?
I regularly sang in school performances as a child and then, at the age of about 14, taught myself guitar. My mum always had music playing when I was growing up; my earliest musical memories being The Stranglers, Bob Dylan, Prince, and David Bowie.

Most of you are childhood friends, right? Whose idea was it to form the band? Did the others take much convincing?
I feel George (bass) and I grew together musically, having struck a real friendship after leaving primary school. I'd known Alfie (drums) all of my life prior to that, and he'd been playing drums with his older brother George, so when it came to forming a band, it made sense for the three of us to do so alongside one another.
