When Ghosts Take Over
Although Napoleon Bonaparte's Frenchmen didn't survive the winter, Melbourne's Dead Frenchmen are taking it by the balls of the brass monkey. Their new EP When Ghosts Take Over is an incredible debut, a five track diamond that echoes the ghosts of bands past while managing to maintain a distinct sound of its own. Not as scary as zombies and not as cute as Casper, Dead Frenchmen show a penchant for pop as well as a thick as blood understanding of rock. With simmering vocals that reveal lipstick traces of Interpol, The Cure, Swervedriver, Echo and the Bunnymen, matched against cascading guitar sounds and infectious drum beats this EP places the Dead Frenchmen on the frontline of Melbourne 's music scene without any concerns of ever being cannon fodder.
Dead Frenchmen launch their EP this Friday at Ding Dong with Children Collide, Dragonlord and Jemima Jemima. Support Dead Music.
