In the three years since the Dead Ships traded punches at their first living room practice, LA's howling garage rock trio ha ve toured the shadiest parts of the continent, slept on the grimiest couches, and been named one of the city's best live shows (DoLA, Grimy Goods).

Balancing feral and soulful, they've most recently released the first of two EPs, produced by Broken Social Scene's Brendan Canning, with emotional lead single "Big Quiet" spending 5 weeks at number one on KROQ's Local's Only.

From celebrating youthful innocence to comprehending life after tragedy, singer Devlin McCluskey writes songs that are pensive yet upbeat.
