DEXTERS

East London DEXTERS return with their second album ‘We Paid For Blood’ on 25th September 2015 for Acid Jazz. The first single ‘Stay Strange’ is released 18th September and was recently aired for the first time when the band played to huge crowds at the Isle of Wight Festival this summer. For an early taste of the album a brand new song ‘Suburban Sex Dungeon’ is available for free now: http://geni.us/DextersPaidForBlood

The four piece who consist of Tom Rowlett (vocals), Ben Debo (guitar), Jamie Harris (bass) and Chris Mardon (drums) – home grown in Hoxton before the beards and pop-up cocktail bars arrived – have spent the last few years touring consistently, honing their classic yet contemporary sound. The result is a shockingly tight live band who are heading out on a month long UK tour in November. ‘We Paid For Blood’ is the follow up to 2013’s ‘Shimmer Gold’ and sees them musically evolved, whilst still maintaining their raw power and melodies. The album has a much fuller sound – a mixture of The Clash, The La’s, The Replacements, The Wytches and Slaves – although they are much more than the sum of their influences. Fired up by the political situation of 2015 (both personal and public) Rowlett uses these issues lyrically and enhances the urgency of the new record.

Tom adds “We’ve grown as a band, this album is a huge step forward in both sound and lyrics. There’s a message, there’s a social conscience, reacting to the shit that’s happening around us. We love music, being on tour, playing to our fans (and meeting new ones), getting away from the boring side of life; shit jobs, no money, life is hard. This is escapism, it’s fun, it’s rock n roll”.

Recorded at the legendary Rockfield Studio in Wales earlier this year with producer Nick Brine (who has worked with such bands as Stone Roses, Oasis, Bruce Springsteen and The Verve amongst others) this session saw the band more comfortable and confident which comes across in the music.

With a few summer festival appearances coming up these will see the band getting ready for a very busy end of 2015.
