DEADLETTER – Chalk, Brighton
The crowd were ready this one and so was I. Without evoking poetic license I conservatively claim that after listening to DEADLETTER’s debut LP ‘Hysterical strength’ for about two minutes, the thought ‘Man, this band would be incredible live’ was clear in my mind. So when they decided to play in my home town it would have taken a good many physical restraints, locked doors and liberally consumed sedatives to stop me.
Review: Chalk – Conditions II
Having only recently come across the Belfast trio, I had not even had a chance to stumble into their 2023 EP, Conditions to build any opinions off. This follow up EP opens with a quasi industrial-electro-punk number. The Gate is, for me, an odd opener if you’re trying to listen to Chalk for the first time. It’s full of high adrenaline, static and deep and pained vocals from vocalist Ross Cullen all of which has you on the fence trying to dance off a panic attack.
