Hailing from Wigan in the North West of England (UK), Deepshade are steadily
gaining recognition for their formidable and uncompromising grungey
alternative-psych rock identity that draws from the fundamental elements of
influential artists such as Nirvana, Queens Of The Stone Age, Led Zeppelin,
Black Sabbath whilst incorporating aspects of The Doors, Soundgarden , Pink
Floyd amongst many many others. Forming in late 2013 by David Rybka
(Vox/Guitar), Tom Doherty (Bass) and Paul Barlow (Drums) the eclectic trio
mutually aspired to create a genuinely sonic experience that delivers
something fresh to the British music scene. With an established following
throughout England’s northern territories, cultivated by a flurry of
explosive live shows, Deepshade were brought to a wider audiences through
airplay support from BBC Introducing and a plethora of alternative radio
stations within the UK, Europe and USA. Despite the band still being
relatively in its creative infancy, Deepshade were soon to be recognised by
the broadsheet publication ‘The Guardian’ as one of the ‘Hot Top Ten
Unsigned British Bands To Check Out’. The off-kilter rockers soon after
progressed things further by signing with independent UK label/management
Ambicon Music Group. In early 2015 the band unearthed the potent and free
download single ‘Tattoo’ from their soon to be released debut album.
Premiering on Krank TV and enabling the band to secure expose from rock
media platforms around the globe, Tattoo delivered a calling-card from
Deepshade that they had firmly arrived on the planet with some serious
potential. Leading on from the release their ‘The Line’ video single, the
eagerly awaited ‘Everything Popular Is Wrong’ was released in Sept 2015 via
Ambicon Records.
Recorded with producer John Kettle and mastered by Fran Ashcroft, the album
features 10 colossal tracks that are a call to arms for music lovers who are
absorbed by gritty rock akin to Kyuss and Led Zeppelin. From the opening
snarling riff attack of ‘Time’ to the infectious and angular assault of ‘Sad
Sun’ – the album shouted out to the world that the trio were capable of
tastefully flirting with the margins of everything from post-grunge to
stoner rock to 60s psychedelic to heavy metal. Drawing attention from
mainstream rock publications – Everything Popular Is Wrong’ earned positive
attention from PowerPlay and Classic Rock Magazine. The latter featuring
‘Sad Sun’ on their cover mount ‘Rock Revival’ compilation CD.
With drummer Paul Barlow departing on amicable terms the band forged on,
Deepshade welcomed their new ally and now full-time member Chris Oldfield
into the fold. Along side the many years of actively gigging around the UK
venue circuit, Deepshade have a number of festival appearances under their
belt, including Psychedelic/Space Summer Rock Solstice and Rockmantic
Weekender. Commencing the process of writing and recording a new album,
again with producer John Kettle – Deepshade have evolved as a unit and push
the boundaries of their own sound. Adding another sonic angle to the new
songs with the addition of Francis Lydiate on Keys in the studio as well as
Mr Rybka playing some too.
Deepshade proclaim that there new album is delving deeper into heavier
psych-rock dimensions. As 2019 unfolds Deepshade have now joined the roster
of the behemoth rock/metal specialist label ‘WormholeDeath Records (Italy)
and are ecstatic at making a new record in 2020 .
‘Soul Divider’ was released on 21 June 2019 via Wormholedeath / The Orchard
