A couple of weeks back we brought you Midlands post-punkers Death Of The High Street’s latest single ‘Not Fair’.

Death Of The High Street – Not Fair
We love it every time this moment comes around, when Derby’s Death Of The High Street get together another incendiary new single release for our aural gratification, particularly so this time around as latest single ‘Not Fair’ is extra-special, with electric, industrial, post-punk guitar lines and complicated affection being the order of the day.

Death Of The High Street – Chancer
Some wise man or other once said to “write about what you know” and Death Of The High Street were taking note, their output to this point being a catalogue of post-punk musings from the mind of frontman Scott Baxter, a stockpile of philosophies and observations from their Derby locale, or maybe their local inContinue reading “Death Of The High Street – Chancer”

Vocalist Scott BaxterContinue reading “Death Of The High Street – Banker”
D.O.T.H.S / Death Of The High Street- Exit
Death Of The High Street‘s new single Exit is the latest missive from Creation records’ reincarnation, It’s Creation Baby. Another punkish band choosing to lead with Mark E Smith spoken word but the chorus is melodic enough to lift them over and above the trend. The lyrics are a spit-flecked meditation on the scourges ofContinue reading “D.O.T.H.S / Death Of The High Street- Exit”
