Réservez ❤️
The 10-track album has been a long time coming – the five-piece first came together in Brighton at the end of 2015 and released their debut EP the following year. There have been a few line-up changes along the way, but they have been settled since their breakthrough tracks ‘Gayboy’, ‘Total 90’ and a cover of Peaches’ ‘Fuck The Pain Away’ in 2019, which prompted Joe Talbot from Idles to proclaim “DITZ are the best band in Brighton, if not the world”.
Even though the various lockdowns slowed the band’s momentum for a while, they turned the situation to their advantage, using the downtime to fine-tune this incredible debut.Abrasive but accessible, The Great Regression is set to be one of the most important British guitar debuts of 2022. First single ‘Ded Würst’ – a ferocious mix of Gilla Band, Foals and a lyric bemoaning the moral quandary of minimum-wage employment – unsurprisingly became an instant favourite of Steve Lamacq on BBC Radio 6 Music. Other highlights include ‘The Warden’, a song all about being too intense, ironically set to an intense backing somewhere between Deftones and Mogwai, and ‘I Am Kate Moss’, which, according to singer Cal Francis, is about “the separation between your visual and personal identities, particularly within the context of masculinity and femininity”.
“Post Post-punk” -Steve Lamacq

“An erratic alliance between Brutalism and environment, [Role Model] spends its short lifespan roaring and interrogating, brewing dynamism from the bristly undergrowth of seething post-punk.” -So Young“
[Gayboy] is big riffs, chopped through with acerbic delivery, carrying a message that’s two flicked fingers at bullies and their ignorant insults.” -Loud & Quiet
“In and out in just over 90-seconds, [Seeking Arrangement] is a big heavy wallop of sound that’ll club you round the ears and leave you wanting more.” –DIY
