Daring to be different: Dez’s Socket catches fire!
AUSSIE maverick DEZ DARE launches 2024 with ‘Got a Fire In My Socket’, his first song from new album ‘A Billion Goats. A Billion Sparks. Fin.’ due March 1st via God Unknown Records.
Speaking ahead of today’s launch, dare explained, “’Got a Fire In My Socket’ is a fuzzed up, bass and synth driven, stomper that tackles the biggest question of all – as the wires fray from the burden of existence and the last sparks shimmer in your consciousness, the void has one simple question, “What tunes do you want playing on the way out?”
“The Stooges ‘Real Cool Time,’ The Triffids ‘A Trick of the Light,’ Judy and the Jerks ‘Good Time,’ or Nicki Minaj, ‘Red Ruby Da Sleeze?’ Whatever your taste, the small things matter. Make it a strong choice!”
The self-produced Australian has spent over three decades producing music, releasing, and touring. Growing up in the coastal town of Geelong (Djilang), he was introduced to the DIY punk and rock scene at 15 and this community and the ideas rooted in the underground music movement have guided his output and ethics throughout his career.
New album, ‘A Billion Goats. A Billion Sparks. Fin.’ features 11 songs that delve further into the void than previous records, zeroing in on philosophical questions, and the pedantic shards of nonsense that make up our existence.
