"Suspects"

debut album out now!

"Suspects is a retro-futuristic, genre-smashing joyride — political and personal, angry yet playful, goth yet summery. It’s one of those rare debut albums that feels like a statement: fully-formed, unapologetic, and brimming with energy. The Dead Zoo have bottled the chaotic magic of their live shows and turned it into something you can blast in your headphones and lose yourself to."

About 🗡️

enter the zoo

Pulsating post punk dream pop noize from LDN. 

"A force to be reckoned with. Their sound weaves indie, punk, and electro influences into something fierce, danceable, and entirely their own. Passionate, political, and unapologetically bold." 
– Hayley Foster Da Silva (Joyzine)

The Dead Zoo serves a free-wheeling melange of melodic sensibilities hijacked by electronic, beat-driven propulsion and a searing, guitar-fuelled sonic assault.
