Dead Pretties are a London trio who play punk-edged chaotic rock n roll which begs to be seen live.

'Solid Air' by John Martyn.

Song you wish you had written?
'Sixteen Saltines' by Jack White.

Song that defines the teenage you?
'F***about' by Drenge.

A song lyric that inspires you?
"The ghost of electricity howled in the bones of her face"
'Visions of Johanna' by Bob Dylan.

Any songs you can’t stop listening to right now?

'Satisfied' by Fat White Family
Because they’re the only well-known band of the last five years that actually broke new ground.

'Jagged Bottom Cloud' by Mōnk
Listen to it on SoundCloud and you will understand, and if you don’t then have a pasty.

'Two Time Slim' by Snatch and the Poontangs
Not strictly contemporary but the lyrics are hilarious.
