Sounds Like
A Riotous amalgamation of glam with a huge shot of AOR runnin' through its veins. Built on the foundations laid by the likes of Kiss, Ratt, Dokken, Poison, Warrant and Black N Blue in the eighties, a glorious throwback to a bygone era. To my ears they sound like a combination of Poison and Steevi James era Tigertailz, vocalist Julez Mephisto sounds like Bret Michaels. Buy Or Die people Buy Or Die!!! - Rob Evans, Powerplay Magazine.

The Deadthings - Formed 2002 in the inner city of Melbourne, Australia on the sleazy streets of St.Kilda by Frontman Julez Mephisto and Rhythm Guitarist Leigh Van Hell (Ex Voodoo Lovecats) and completed with Dave Scythe (Lead Guitar) and Trixxi Trash (Bass). The Deadthings tell dark and grim tales of sleaze and heartbreak in their own unique melodic morbid way.
