DEADLETTER announce headline tour of Ireland this September
Following the announcement of debut album Hysterical Strength, DEADLETTER release dates for their debut Irish headline tour.
The post-punk band DEADLETTER will be playing three shows across Ireland in Empire Music Hall, Belfast, Kasbah Social Club, Limerick and The Grand Social, Dublin on September 26th, 27th, and 28th respectively, in the wake of their debut album being released on the 13th of that month.
The recently released lead single of the album ‘Mere Mortal’ was written following a personal tragedy and suicide of a close friend of the band, and features contorting, elastic basslines and stuttering, angular guitar motifs that are punctuated with saxophone.

The philosophy of DEADLETTER is that the world is “punishing but there's also fucking beauty out there” explains frontman Zac Lawrence. “Being able to take something disgusting or disgraceful and make it sound nice through the power of music, that juxtaposition appeals to me.”
The result is twelve tracks of motorik rhythms and angular guitars, adorned by smoky saxophone and baritone-belted lyrics about flickering television sets and dilapidated town centres decked with decapitated bodies.
The L.P. is produced by British producer Jim Abbiss, best known for producing Arctic Monkeys' debut album Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not and Adeles’s 19 and 21.
Following the shows in Ireland DEADLETTER will be touring Europe and the UK in October, which will begin their biggest headline run to date.
Tickets cost €18 and will be available here on Friday 17th May at 10 am.
