Dead Raze: Feeling (Self Released)
DL
Rel Date: 13th February 2026
Dead Raze ignite 2026 with a new single; Feelings – the track tackles the fear of failure and the spiral of self-pity that holds you back, but provides the antidote… Get up, get out and do it now!
This Liverpool based duo run-on high-octane energy and sheer hold-my-pint grit. They keep things simple, minimal even but delivered real hard – pounding drums courtesy of Ollie Fontaine (ex-Sheepy) bleed through the record’s torched punk blues, rabid folk and colliding noise, with Mathew Cawe (aka Villy Raze ex-Dead Class) armed with a feral slide guitar, delivering quick witted social commentary, yet still retaining that crucial level of humour.
Feelings captures them in full primordial ooze mode, a raw adrenaline fuelled blast that commences with some machine gun handclaps (we need more hand clapping in songs), ahead of the perfect-storm sonic charge of chugging guitar riffs and cascading drums, a driving lyric and an anthemic vocal chant – everything feeding the fire of danceable darkness!
Sadly, this is only a digital single, but there are rumours that the follow up to 2023’s Mudbugs album may well get a release this year – fingers crossed!
Dead Raze have forthcoming gigs including two dates supporting Ash this weekend:
Friday 13th February – The Dome, Liverpool
Saturday 14th February – Sugar Mill, Stoke

We are not driven by profit, just pure enthusiasm for a scene that each and every one of us is passionate about.
