Austaralian alt-rock band Deadshowws are starting February 2024 on a high as they share their latest song Two Toned. The strength of this song comes in the lyrics because this song is written so honestly, with plenty of depth, as the band really put raw vulnerable emotions at the centre, with lyrics such as ‘I don't think I am ready, I think I need another heartbreak’ and ‘I am lying awake to the restless noise’.
It can sometimes feel we are trapped inside our head with the thoughts often feeling quite overwhelming or suffocating, but the beauty of a band like Deadshowws is they help us to unpack all of that thus enabling us to at least start navigate a way through. Listening to Deadshowws reminds me of bands such as Thrice or even Taking Back Sunday and Silverstein, so for anyone into bands like that will definitely not be disappointed when giving Two Toned a listen.
i felt the song was encapsulating the emotional avoidance of the entanglement of a romantic partner. “i don’t think i’m ready, i think i need another heartbreak” spoke to me as them saying how being emotionally broken down by a lover would essentially prepare them for the role of “emotionally competent partner” amongst other lyrics throughout the song. i interpreted the song overall to speak on behalf of those too wounded to show up the way they wish they could when the meet someone they want to show up for, and the stressors that come along with being ultimately unprepared. ~right person, wrong time~
the write-up captures the energy and creative direction of the release really well. The balance between describing the sound and the artistic intent makes it engaging without overexplaining. I came across a comparable creative review on a review blog gourmetgiftbasketstore, and it’s interesting how thoughtful storytelling enhances appreciation across such different subjects. Great read.
