Hull’s Deadset have released their highly charged, emotive debut single ‘The Art Of Pointscoring’ via
Mandemolish Records. It’s a track where the soaring guitar, a truly hypnotic bass line and a languid vocal shroud a deeply anguished lyric riddled with a resignation and despair.
“The song is an earnest outlook on the toxic environment that can be birthed when you’re struggling to
coordinate mental health issues,” says Sam Mellors from the band.
“That apathy you experience in which you feel empathy but struggle to act upon it. It’s an ugly subject but writing about it in a vulnerable and genuine way helps to process and accept your own falsities and mistakes; and the accepting of a situation you can’t change when someone else is feeling the same, accepting both parties can make mistakes. It helps me learn vulnerability and forgive others whilst also learning how to change bad behaviour patterns myself.”
A spaced out bass heavy track that explodes on the chorus and burrows its way into your head on the verses. It’s drenched in swaggering cinematic brilliance with an injection of slacker attitude and a slap to the brain. A very strong debut.
