When we last caught up with Dead Pretties at Latitude, they had – y’know – a lot to say for themselves. That included promising us new music – which is what we’re up to right here, right now.
Titled ‘Confidence’, the trio’s latest offering is a swaggering slice of bombast and certainty with its gob set to stun.
“The public is being de-intellectualised by certain outlets of the western media,” explains frontman Jacob Slater, not holding back, “who choose the easy path of reporting on bum implants and racists when they know they have the power to shift the focus of the public eye. The worrying thing is because the general public on such a regular basis consumes it; people have become addicted to wanting to know more about the Kardashians of the world. That makes these people powerful role models. I’m opposed to the idea that rattling like a near empty tin should be an example of how to live ones life. People are stupid enough as it is, don’t encourage them.”
Say what you really think, lad.
Check out ‘Confidence’ below. They’re judging you, kids. Watch out.
