Ringo Deathstarr to play Hare & Hounds

Ringo Deathstarr are making no hesitations when it comes to checking things off their 2014 To Do List. The Austin, Texas trio kicked off the year with a US tour, followed by the release of their much-anticipated album God’s Dream via Neon Sigh / Noyes Records. This summer, the three-piece embark on a UK tour calling at Birmingham’s Hare & Hounds on Friday 29th August 2014.

Warm guitars and pulsing drums combine to form an aggressively atmospheric bubble, encompassing the listener in an infectious cohesive which blends the sounds of an era when Sonic Youth and Jesus and Mary Chain walked the Earth with a forward thinking and creatively stubborn indie darling. Joined by Adam Franklin of Swervedriver on the track ‘Nowhere’ and Jeff Schroeder of the Smashing Pumpkins on ‘Chainsaw Morning’, Ringo Deathstarr have created a flawlessly crafted sound.

The trio have been putting out records since 2007 – their sound is born from a love of melody, a love of guitar, and a hatred of pompous vocals. Finding it to be too much fun, the group has expounded upon the sounds of the masters before them. This desire to play the music they were too young to witness as children has taken Ringo Deathstarr around the globe, performing in places as far flung as Israel, Mexico, Brazil, Japan, Europe, Canda, and the continental USA, supporting favorites like …And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, The Wedding Present, and The Smashing Pumpkins.

“…the absolute best band of shoegaze revivalists operating now.” – 4/5, All Music Guide
