Latitude 2017 will never be the same again after Dead Pretties have finished with it

Like a barrage of twisted licks and in your face trill, the green lands and sparkling waters of Latitude may not have seen a band quite like Dead Pretties before, but after laying waste to The Lake stage - it'll never be the same again. With blistering numbers tackling addiction and struggle like a kick to the teeth, there's a ramshackle growl that fills through every moment. 'Social Experiment' flies out of the cages with such an intensity that you can't help but stop and be in awe - and the rest of their set follows suite. Sweat dripping off their cheeks and staring straight down the tunnel they've carved out for themselves, it's a raucous bite of something deliciously sour and the taste is nothing but moreish. Wide-eyed and raw, Dead Pretties are the natural reaction that builds inside all of us. At Latitude, that expulsion of emotion was nothing short of palpable, and feverishly hungry for more. <em>Photos: Poppy Marriott / Dork</em>
