Deadshowws, one of Australia's most compelling new voices in alternative emo, have just released their debut album, ‘You in colour.’, alongside a 5-date headline tour. Raw, intimate and honest, ‘You in colour.’ is a portrait of feeling too much and not knowing what to do with it, rendered in noise, melody and quiet devastation.

Rooted in the emotional architecture of bands like Title Fight, Bleed and Citizen, Deadshowws craft songs that sit somewhere between a scream and a sigh. You in colour. doesn't offer easy resolution — it sits with you in the dark, asks the hard questions and trusts you to find your own way through.

Visceral and drenched in saturated fuzz, ‘You in colour.’ is a raw, bludgeoning collection of heavy emo. Yet beneath the walls of distorted guitars and crashing cymbals, melodies drift and shimmer, giving Deadshowws' debut album a surprising sense of depth and nuance. Across its runtime, the band presents an anthology of scraped-knee sounds—bloodied, bruised and emotionally exposed—with standout moments arriving through the towering single ‘Summer Rust’ and the heavier alternative leanings of ‘I Should’. However, it's the deeper cuts, ‘I Can't Swim’ and ‘Criminal’, that reward the closest attention, revealing some of the album's most affecting songwriting. 

There is a growing wave of Australian bands reviving the emotional intensity of early emo and post-hardcore, but few are doing so with the same balance of vulnerability and atmosphere as Deadshowws. On ‘You in colour.’, the band prove that beneath the noise lies a remarkable emotional clarity, making for a debut that feels both cathartic and deeply human.

To coincide with the album release, Deadshowws will take You in colour. to venues across the east coast of Australia, stopping in Sydney, Newcastle, Melbourne, Wollongong, and Brisbane. The tour promises the kind of cathartic, up-close live experience that the band's growing fanbase has come to expect.

Deadshowws are perpetually tired alternative emo. Melancholy lyrics, ambient lead lines and overdriven power chords — with their hearts on their sleeves, they realise feelings you didn't know you had. If you've ever felt stuck between healing and falling apart, but you keep showing up anyway — you're in the right place.

‘You in colour.’ , Deadshowws debut full-length album, and their most complete statement yet, is out now on all streaming platforms.
