------------------------------------------------------------
“A blend of The Fall, Suicide, Arthur Lee and acid house...dynamic and compelling” - The Quietus
“A swirling sinister slice of goth pop...dance floor-filling Sisters/Mission dry ice shenanigans” - Louder Than War
“Somewhere between The Stooges primal garage punk and Suicide's screeching futurism...blistering dance-punk” - CLASH
Liverpool gothic alt-pop trio THE DSM IV are pleased to announce that they will release their new EP, NEGATIVE UTOPIA, via local independent label heroes 9x9 Records on 21st January 2025.
The band have also revealed a new run of early 2025 UK headline tour dates, with tickets on sale now.
Formed in Liverpool in 2018 by former Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster frontman Guy McKnight, THE DSM IV crystallise the ultra real and the otherworldly, bringing a focused hyperrealism to the party. Their convention-defying live performances toy with audience expectations and stimulate questions of the narratives being sold to us as news - or entertainment. McKnight sings and gesticulates like his life depends on it, his lyrics enticing or lacerating depending on the mood the band conjures. In an age of perversion of reality, justice and truth, THE DSM IV poetically reflect on our world’s hypocrisies and dilemmas, with danceability, intelligence, indignation, grace, style—refreshing purity for these polluted times.
After a long gestational period giving rise to a string of standalone singles, the band finally released their formidable, uncompromising debut album, NEW AGE PARANOIA in 2023, leading to support slots with Sleaford Mods, The Libertines and Dream Wife.
Standalone 2024 single ‘White Wolf’ carried on the momentum, with a forthcoming EP of as yet unreleased demos and remixes, NEGATIVE UTOPIA, scheduled for 2025 on new independent label home 9x9 Records - an as-yet unheard part of the band’s musical explorations and experimentations in preparation for the debut album.
New EP NEGATIVE UTOPIA is released 31st January 2025 via 9x9 Records,
