Dez Dare Album Launch

About

Come party with us for the Brighton launch for Dez Dare's new album, CHERYL! Your Love Shines Down Like A Supernova's Death with special guests from Australia, Lunar Dirt.

"With prior albums attracting critical plaudits, there wasnt a chance I was gonna pass this one up for review purposes... King Tuff and Ty Segall came to mind while listening to the album for the sonic variety, effortlessly cool and outright hipness on offer. Hence, I would have no hesitation recommending it, check it out." The Sleeping Shaman [Reza Mills]

"At a time when much of indie rock is drifting toward reverb-drenched melancholy or algorithm-friendly mush, Dez Dare is a welcome jolt of clarity. His music points out that punk rock music can still be smart, noise can still be meaningful, and absurdity can still be art. He makes records that feel like manifestos written in neon, sung through a bullhorn, blasted through fuzz pedals and synth wires... Dez Dare proves once again that he is one of the most interesting, inventive, and important voices in underground rock today." Thoughts Words Action

"Dare raves his way through his latest batch of 11 new brain tilting songs - each pumping with frantic Casio keyboard induced rhythm and burning psychedelic guitar soloing. Completely nuts boy pop from a true master that has been nurtured over the years from overdosing on Devo, The Tubes and perhaps a shot of R Stevie Moore... From the opening four second synthesized trill of "CHERYL! [Loading...]" to the guitar shredding onslaught ripping through "Blistered Eyeballs", Dez Dare's ambition to "not be like everyone else" takes a step closer to being fulfilled." The Wire [Edwin Pouncey]

"on the screamingly titled CHERYL!, he pours all the weirdness he can muster onto a single record. And he does so with more ferocity than ever before... this LP is a winner." The Big Takeover [Kurt Orzeck]
