Dead Finks (DE)

Dead Finks is New Zealand-born duo Erin Violet and Joseph Thomas playing post-punk music in the tradition of Wire, Sonic Youth and Parquet Courts. Their current incarnation is a 4 piece band based in Berlin.

The band started gaining traction in 2021 when the video for their single “(My Human) Extinction” was premiered on the taste-making Harakiri Diät channel, becoming a modest hit in underground punk circles. They gained further attention after being hand-picked by Detroit post-punk stalwarts Protomartyr to support several dates of their 2022 EU tour, and went on to support Dry Cleaning on the entire European leg of their 2023 world tour.

Their most recent album is 2024’s “Eve of Ascension”, a “prelapsarian nine-track survey of suffering shot through with anxious belligerence, in which paranoid chants ring out with sputtering non-defeat and woozy caterwauling harmonies go toe-to-toe against insistently sclerotic drumming”. It is available now through Urge Records.

Gold Cup

Golden cups are a band from Manchester who don't like to put any information about themselves online so I have to come up with these bio's from scratch.

They're an egg punk(ish) band that like to wear masks, really good shit.
