“Sounds like The Strokes if they’d reinvented themselves as a folk punk band.” -Entertainment Weekly
"Righteous pure rock" - MTV
“Their tuneful charisma separates them from the legions of garage-rock imitators” - LA Times
“The lovechild between Alabama Shakes and the Black Keys" - CMJ

Los Angeles-based band The Dead Ships have announced upcoming tour dates with Le Butcherettes. The tour make stops in Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Toronto, Washington, D.C., Atlanta and more. The band will also be performing at San Francisco's Noise Pop Festival and Austin's SXSW Music Festival before play at Coachella in April. The Dead Ships' Devlin McCluskey told Buzzbands LA, "This [Coachella confirmation] came out of nowhere. It always seems like there’s some invisible hand working for bands to get to the next level, but we have no label, no booking agent, nothing like that. It’s such a surprise.” He adds, "It feel like 2016 is going to be a really fun year for us. We’ve just worked and worked and worked and worked. It seems like it might be paying off.”
The Dead Ships are touring in support of their latest release EP 1 which is available now to download oniTunes or BandCamp. The EP was produced by Broken Social Scene’s Brendan Canningand marked the first time Canning produced a record for a band he wasn’t a part of, and The Dead Ships made the most of the experience. McCluskey told Consequence Of Sound, "Getting to work with Brendan Canning on your guitar-driven indie rock is like getting to work with Barry Bonds on your steroid regimen (allegedly).” The band reunited with Canning for the follow up to EP 1, a full-length album due later this year.
In the three years since the Dead Ships traded punches at their first living room practice, LA's howling garage rock trio have toured the shadiest parts of the continent, slept on the grimiest couches, and been named one of the city's best live shows (DoLA, Grimy Goods). Balancing feral and soulful, they've most recently released the first of two EPs, produced by Broken Social Scene's Brendan Canning, with emotional lead single "Big Quiet" spending 5 weeks at number one on KROQ's Local's Only. From celebrating youthful innocence to comprehending life after tragedy, singer Devlin McCluskey writes songs that are pensive yet upbeat. Building off influences such as The Pixies while maintaining their comparison to The Strokes, The Dead Ships are a reminder that honest guitar rock still has its place in this world - and it's a loud one.
