Dead Messenger

"LOVE IS THE ONLY WEAPON" ON ITUNES



We made a record, it's called Love Is The Only Weapon. Jonathan Cummins (Bionic, The Hot Springs, Tricky Woo) produced it and Jace Lasek (The Besnard Lakes, Patrick Watson, Wolf Parade) recorded it at Breakglass studios in Montreal



WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT IT:



"This band of Montreal garage punks comes bearing fist-pumping rock anthems that beg to be the soundtrack to your summer road trip. The quartet has an affinity for 70s pop rock, evidenced by the ripping guitar solos (Dog In My Pocket) and the epic, Thin Lizzyesque Look Out Below. This Jonathan Cummins-produced ( Starvin Hungry, Tricky Woo) debut packs plenty of punchy guitar riffs songs like strong opener Fat Black Heart and catchy closer Dog In My Pocket might convince you to check out their sweaty, take-no-prisoners live show." - NOW MAGAZINE



Sometimes stumbling across bands with a reverence for different musical eras is as easy as, well, looking in your own backyard. This Montreal-based quartet deliver glam-flavoured garage-rock rekindling a boisterous style reminiscent of The New York Dolls or T Rex infused with super-catchy choruses, rapid-fire riffing, and raucous-energy that will catapult you off your seat. From Nuggets-inspired retro-rock to late 70’s power-pop, Dead Messenger covers it all. - LONELY VAGABOND



Hopefully this carefree and consciously daft set from four Montreal garage rock rabblerousers is foreshadowing a sun-drenched, unrepentant haze of a summer. Well-timed for the mass exodus from dank, sweaty dungeons to midday imbibing on terraces and front porches, Dead Messenger stretch out mature, blue collar bar punk from its rigidly contrite chains and play as a cohesive, leisurely foursome.

Do you remember when Montreal wasn't all Wolf Parade and Arcade Fire but Doughboys and Tricky Woo? So do these chaps. Do you remember when skateboarding was odd? So do these chaps. Do you remember when DM meant Doctor Martens? So do these chaps.
