XRP Zine August  Interviews Death Monkey!

This Month, Birmingham’s XRP Radio have a feature on Death Monkey Records! with an interview with Dave and Damian all about the label and DMR’s own Sarah Birch as the the cover artist for the August Edition.

XRP is dedicated to unsigned and independent artists and is fiercely against mainstream music and  the over commercialisation it undergoes where it becomes sanitised and homogenised to reach a mass audience.

XRP share many of the principles which Death Monkey itself was founded on and the reason the DMR was setup in Swansea, so it is an honour and privilege to have been included in August’s edition with XRP station Boss Tizz speaking with Dave and Damian about a bit of background behind Death Monkey.

DMR artist Sarah Birch can also be found on the front cover with news of her NEW single ‘OLD MONEY NEW MONEY’ which is out NOW and able to stream through Spotify and the DMR Bandcamp.

NinePlanFailed Reunite for Exclusive DMR Podcast

We had the immense pleasure of catching up with Swansea’s much missed cult heros NinePlanFailed last weekend! while recording a new DMR podcast to talk about the Re-Release/ReMaster of their debut 2012 self titled album for the 10 Year Anniversary of Death Monkey Records.

A band well ahead of their time, with their own brand of dark subversive pop and political cynicism, NinePlanFailed are arguably more relevant today than ever and it can only be imagined what they would make of todays socio-political landscape if they were still around making records… Could a reformation be on the cards?

We’ll be dropping the Podcast shortly where the band discuss everything you ever wanted (and didn’t want) to know  about NinePlanFailed,  as well some pretty damn awesome and very exciting, previously unreleased recordings.
