deathcrash announce third album, Somersaults

Speaking of the album and the title track, deathcrash explain: This record comes from a place of growing up, and giving up on adolescent dreams. Matt presented to us this beautiful nostalgic song, more or less fully formed, and he’d called it ‘Somersaults’ before the vocals were ever written for it. It became a symbol for the record more or less instantly."

Somersaults follows the band's 2023 album Less, and their 2022 debut return. Expanding on the album's central theme of growing up, singer Tiernan Banks says: “There is something about this album that's a reflection on growing up. Adolescence is feeling like you're gonna live forever, but also that you want to die right now – and they're basically the same feeling. Growing up is somewhere much more in the middle.”

Guitarist Matthew Weinberger adds: “I think this record has joy in it. That’s why ‘this life is the best life’ is a big tagline of the record. Some songs are more anxious, some more nostalgic, but they all circle that idea that this is the life we have, and we’re embracing it.”

The new record comes ahead of a spring tour of the UK and Europe, which will kick off in Belgium on 3 April, with stops in the Netherlands, Germany, and France, ahead of later stops in Bristol (12 April), Glasgow (14 April), and Manchester (15 April) before concluding with a show at The Garage in London on 16 April.
