Indie Band of the week - The Dead Freights
The Dead Freights are one of those bands that you only find once in a lifetime. A volcano of charming guitars, solid friendships and rock ’n’ roll excess. Barely together a year and they have gained support from BBC Introducing, toured the depths of the UK, Recorded their debut EP and have built a cult following in the South.
Hailing from the City of Southampton, the band consists of Charlie James, Louis Duarte, Robby Spencer and Robert Franklin . They are all the kind of gentlemen you could take home to your grandmother, but you could guarantee she would still be up parting with them 3 days later!
Their Debut record “ The Dead Freights Ep” captures the magic of The Small Faces, Early Libertines and The Kinks. They have seamlessly taken the best bits from the greats of the 60s/70s and added their own stamp.
Tracks off the EP like “ Mama, I won't waste your time ” and “Hopeless Blues ” show the bands upbeat side, with shuffle grooves and beautiful harmonies they keep you locked inside their world. While tracks like “Fall Behind ” and “ Dragged home” are full of tasteful lyrics that nod to the more tender side of them.
The Ep is a genuine slice of their journey, if you want to get your teeth into something fresh then Guestlist Recommends The Dead Freights!
