CSDM a.k.a. Celebrity Death Slot Machine is a “freakout post-punk group” (FLOOD Magazine) based in Atlanta, GA. Their stylish sonic onslaught is anchored around dancey rhythms, atypical synthesizer work, timely saxophone growls, as well as goth rock-esque melodies that serve to recount bizarre humor-laden tales from a derelict parallel universe. Since forming in 2021, the band has toured North America and Europe, sharing the stage with likes of The KVB, Bodega, Sheer Mag, Iceage, and Model/Actriz, while also taking part in events such as SXSW, Treefort Festival, Art Rock Festival, Hopscotch Festival, and M for Montreal. CDSM’s introductory EP, Hell Stairs (2022), was both glamorous and bleak, swanky and derelict, uplifting and crushing, described by the band as “hedonism clinking in your glass, change jingling in the pit of your chest.” Atlanta’s hot new commodity followed with a slew of music videos – “GOGO” (May 11th, 2023), “Entertainment” (2023), “DOM” (2023), and “SHADY” (2024) – amidst a stretch that saw them bring their sweaty live set to the very best underground venues the United States, Canada and Europe have to offer. The death disco purveyors are to unearth their debut full-length: Convertible Hearse (May 23rd, 2025 via EXAG’ Records & Mothland). @deadratsocietymusic w/ SHOPLIFTING 1080p @jamie._.penn Dead Rat Society - London-based bombastic explosion of Punk, EDM, Hip Hop and Grunge Rock. What started as a half-joking, experimental bedroom project, pulling influence from Prog Rock and old school horror movies, quickly evolved into something that demanded to be shared - unique, adrenalizing, and desperately danceable. Fronted by multi-instrumentalist Ed Harris, channelling millennial angst with offbeat cultural witticisms, and joined by co-producer Ben Potter, bassist Connor Firmston, and drummer Will Pinhey, the group has quickly built a reputation for explosive live shows that have thrilled, sold out, and almost shaken-to-the-ground some of the most prestigious grassroots venues across the country.
