Sydney-based grunge rockers The Dead Love were formed in 2010 by Stevie Knight (vocals/guitar), Clint Ossington (bass) and Miles Cochrane (drums).
Known for their DIY approach to music, they quickly established themselves as a cult act in the Sydney music scene, going on to release three acclaimed albums – So Whatever, The Extinction of Unicorns and The Dead Love.
The lads have toured extensively across Australia and internationally and shared the stage with the likes of Grinspoon, Stand Atlantic and DZ Deathrays.
Speaking on their popularity, Ossington said, “We succeeded in being a success, because we measure that by the experiences we’ve had all over the globe as a band”
After calling it quits in 2023, The Dead Love are back and ready to rip it up at venues across the nation next January.
Catch The Dead Love at Ed Castle on Friday 16 January. Tickets on sale now via oztix.com.au.
