Today on the podcast I am joined by Tommy of the Birmingham Hardcore/Metal band, Dead Mob!

A Hardcore band that really surprised me on my first listen with just how much sub-genres and styles of playing that they've managed to blend into their tunes, I'll be chatting with Tommy about how this band was originally formed, their writing process, the Hardcore community, their two fantastic singles 'Sentenced' and 'Death Awaits' that they released in June of 2025 and what Metal means to the city that the genre originally came from!

And finally, we'll of course be chatting about Dead Mob making their debut Irish appearance, as they will be supporting Belfast band, Shortest Straw, on their 'A New Normal Irish Tour', which begins in Belfast next month on August 20th, then on to Dublin on the 21st and finishing up in Cork on the 22nd! Joining on them tour are Dublin Alternative Metal band Carnyx! The shows are put on by Drag Wounds Promotions and tickets for Belfast and Cork are available through Eventbrite and the Dublin show tickets (which I'll be doing) are available on ie.powertik.com.
