“Sounds like U2 on meth…” Russ Russel

Purveyors of violent noise and blissful melodies since 2017 and once described by legendary metal producer Russ Russell as sounding "...like U2 on Meth", LVDS have equal levels of appreciation for pure pop melodies and the most extreme forms of heavy and noisy music.

Chunks of MBV, Teenage Fanclub, Dinosaur Jr, Oasis, Sonic Youth, Jesus and Mary Chain, Ride, Puressence, Smashing Pumpkins, The Cure, Bob Mould and Guided By Voices all get thrown in to a blender with a dash of death metal and a pinch of Wham! to whip up the noisy but uplifting sound of Last Victorian Death Squad.

6 E.Ps have been unleashed so far since 2018 via Shoredive Records with a debut full length album in the works, pencilled in for release in late 2025.
