DEAD YEARS play dark post-punk with a distinct 80s influence. The trio from Bielefeld, Germany, consists of Julia,Hannes and Jonas, who all played in other bands (Gloom Sleeper, Pointed, Ruins, Mayak, Shoyu Squad) beforecombining their talents in DEAD YEARS and releasing a successful debut album in 2022.The sound of DEAD YEARS is characterized by playful guitar riffs, intense alternating vocals, and driving drums.Inspired by bands such as The Wipers, X, Masshysteri, Feral Trash and Hysterese, DEAD YEARS share their rawenergy and dark aura.On Night Thoughts, DEAD YEARS effortlessly creates a pull and intoxication that hypnotically attracts and embracesthe listener. But it's never just about the music: their lyrics reinforce the melancholy of their sound. They deal withself-doubt, social anxieties and the daily struggle to find one's way in an alienated world.
