The band formed from the hearts of two different but similar comprehensive high schools as a result of being sick to the back fucking teeth of rich Grammar school bands singing about being hard done by, when, in reality, their mummys and daddies buy their super expensive equipment for them and drive them to their gigs in their fuck off petrol guzzling 4x4's... Fuck that shit. Thats not REAL. That, is FAKE.... DiP is now split, (all off to uni!) but the core members will return in the form of a new band in Glasgow soon... Watch this space...
"There's hints of My Bloody Valentine in there and almost an air of aloofness amid the pretty snarling melody lines. I like it." - Steve Lamacq - Radio 1
"With guitars as gargantuan as Mogwai and vocals with the bitchy attitude of Mansun at their anthemic best, DIP are onto a winner…" - Subba Cultcha
"Coupling the skyscraping atmospherics of Mogwai with late-80s indie, DIP are proving themselves to be genuine contenders for 2008." - Rock Midgets
"Guitar notes ring out like ghostly anthems separated by incidentally massive walls of noise. A pulsating melee of shaking distortion." - Manchester Music
"Death In Public live in a reverb world of fiery guitars & echoing doom. The band mix Godspeed style guitars mixed with doomy backdrops & atmospherics laden with thudding drums & impassioned vocals." - Plastic Ashtray
"Wired darkness runs through spikey guitar lines, keeping a balance between fast pace and brooding sentiment. There's a post-rock power here that dullards like Keane and Razorlight could never understand." - Moderate Rock
"They’re all about big sound and blustery atmospherics, but do this with a pleasing lack of portentousness. (opening with I Really Hate Coldplay) Instead, they keep up a sharp pace and motor through their short set." - New Noise (Live Gig Review)
"Atmospheric guitars wash across sound creating (whisper it) sonic cathedrals. Sounding like an angrier Muse, strings are thrashed with the passion of a band clearly trying to create something interesting. There is a passion in the vocals Kele Okereke could only manage in his dream of dreams...." - Click Music
haha yeh i've really got my heart set on going to glasgow... i'm applying for visual communication too, but i don't reckon my portfolio is really up to scratch, it isn't very... design at all, more life-drawing sketches and pastel studies etc... but we'll see... fingers crossed... x
