Back to South London today to big up 3 teenagers (Joe Blair (Guitar & vocals), Ollie Clarke (Bass & backing vocals) & Louis Englefield (Drums)) from Herne Hill who recently released a belting debut ep titled Skint. They're called Play Dead and they've been making a few waves with airplay on both Radio 1 and 6 Music.
They introduced themselves last year with a track extolling the virtues of the Kent seaside town of Whitstable and I jumped on the bandwagon a few months later when I played Shaun on the show. Now that tale of the pint supping, fight starting van driver reappears on what's a fresh, fun ep.
A lazy comparison would be to call them the English Chats. I also hear shades of Manchester trio Aerial Salad. 5 tracks of punk tuneage fresh out of the garage, it's available via Blitzcat Records : https://blitzcatrecords.com/
This is the title track, it's a problem most of us can sympathise with in these austere times, it's called Skint...
