Finding their current shape and sound in early 2007, The Dead Words are an original 4 piece hailing from Melbourne with their own flavour of dirty blues and dark country rock. Their world worn soundtrack echoes journey and distance, dripping with all the soul of dust and blood on an old gunslinger’s boots. Railroad rhythms drive gutsy guitars over delicate blues melodies, telling stories of love, lust and a world going south. Unashamedly wearing their hearts and influences on their sleeves, they take their cues from early Stones & Dylan and sit comfortably next to contemporaries such as Magnolia Electric Co, The Drones and the Black Keys.
