We’ve been pretty big fans of garage rockers The Dead Heir ever since copping a listen of their absolute scorcher of a single ‘Cooked’ back in mid-2014 which our writer called “a heated blend of sixties-styled garage-pop, loaded with chunky rhythms, psych-tinged organs and catchy-as-fuck echoed lyrics that melt into a consuming swirl of distorted sonics that’ll make you feel like you’ve just ingested a fistful of mushies”.
After a string of killer live shows and an ingenious and addictive online game, the guys are now gearing up to unleash their new EP titled The Dead Heir Go Wild! out via the killer local label Psychic Ric Records.
This release sees the crew detach themselves from their garage grit and shift up a gear in production. The band have managed to embody the chaos of six band members in a five track EP with help from two Melbourne psych bands Dougal Shaw from Breve and King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard’s Joey Walker in post production.
