   About Dead on the Live Wire

Gigging around Scotland for two years now – they landed their first international shows in their first year playing at CBGB’s and the Underscore in New York and will be playing shows in Berlin this coming August.

Gaining momentum in the underground scene they have played with cult bands such as Attrition and international industrial acts such as Psydoll. They have also supported Kerrang award nominees My Passion on their Scottish tour and upcoming acts such as The Pistolas and Broken Records.

Style. Trash. Glamour!

"Male-female ferocious noise duo who deploy Sonic Youth-esque atonal vocals, Nine Inch Nails guitar crunch and industrial clatter to deafening effect." - The Skinny

"What absolute darlings. Very now, very hip, very I just took lots of drugs and murdered my sleeping family, then passed out and forgot I’d done it and decided to start a band! Superb, just what the youth of this country needs, a bit of good old fashioned bad weather with a dash of proper British electro-glamour-punk. Huzzah for all that, I say!" - Bannerman’s Review

"All post-punk industrial glee wrapped up in ominous, evil old drum machine beats and a glare’n’stare look to kill for. Lovely!" - Elyzium Aberdeen

"A less whiney RATM coupled with the sneary and sleazy vocal affectations of Mark E Smith." - The Critic

"Daft Punk gone metal!" - The 13th Note

“An entirely unique entity full of menacing quirks and distorted hooks, complimented by a male/female vocal dynamic” Scotsman

"Very now, very hip. We need a bit of good old fashioned British electro-glamour-punk" Nightnews

“Emo-tronic punk-rock elephants"Forest Café, Edinburgh
