DieKaiDie

irthed at a Ceilidh in Manchester out of a shared creative endeavor to blend the popular and the pretty with the abrasive underground, DieKaiDie unveil their eagerly awaited debut single ‘Swiss Army Knife’ via Manchester based indie Cosmic Glue, due for release 20th October.

Merging genres such as Dance-punk, hyperpop, shoegaze and more which results in heavily processed guitars, abrasive synths and (objectively heretical) drum machine programming, DieKaiDie’s sound is raw and unapologetically abrasive, whilst also offering moments of unconventional harmony amidst hook laden choruses and pop structures.

Always on the side of the extreme, DieKaiDie serve up a barrage of intense rhythmic energy exploring themes from love and religion, to the familiar and mundane.

About their debut ‘Swiss Army Knife’ the four-piece say…

"We think Swiss Army Knife really encapsulates what we aim to achieve as a band. At the heart of it, it’s a pop song, catchy and repetitive, but has the potential to challenge the listener with it’s unconventional sound palette and willingness to lean into abrasiveness."

DieKaiDie are Matthew Deakin (Bass Guitar, Drum Machine, Modular Synth) Reuben Haycocks (Guitar) Paddy Murphy (Vocals, Guitar), Produced and engineered by Matthew Fisher.
