Four lads from Teesside and we have wrote a load of songs, been played on the BBC Radio, Internet, done loads of gigs and played a few festivals.

Three members come from the same place as Janick Gers(Iron Maiden) and Lewis(lead guitar)has played to him...;-)...apparently he is a fan of the band!...Vocals aint to shabby as well.

Our sound is a combination of various styles and makes one hell of a cocktail with riffs so slick they caress the ears, bass lines Flea would be proud of with the drum and rhythm keeping the hook well and truly lodged in your brain. 
They are equipped with deliciously catchy guitar riffs and anthemic lyrics that pack a punch as well as tug on your heart strings.
They are the band that your music teacher warned you about, the band that your neighbours bang on the wall for, the band you want blasting on your car stereo. 
Your ears have been waiting for this. Enjoy!

Our Album 'Tempting Fate' can be to downloaded on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify...

Thee Deadtime Philharmonic - Biography

Based in the ex-mining town of Swadlincote, South Derbyshire, Murdoch's songwriting reflects the carnage left behind in a town still on its knees from Thatcher’s strangle hold on the working classes.

Relentless gigs all over the UK (including all the major cities and the nowhere towns where most bands don't bother to go) have gained the band an ever-growing army of dangerously devoted fans. Their militant working class stance caught the eye of Clash legend Mick Jones, who took Deadtime out on the road as special guests, and Murdoch has since recorded a single and album with The Tribunes (out on Honest Jons Records and featuring Mick Jones’s rhythm section from Carbon/Silicon). The Clash connection continued when Strummerville (The Joe Strummer Foundation For New Music) invited Deadtime into the family by funding their first single, double a-side 'Moths/Spine' with producer Paul Tipler (Idlewild, 80s Matcbox, Dr Feelgood,Elastica). Strummerville also added 'Spine’ (demo) to their prestigious DIY download page, where it held the No.1 slot for nine months in the Strummerville chart. The band have also worked with other producers such as Brett Shaw (Unkle, Florence and the Machine, Gorillaz) and David Glover (Self Esteem, Slow Club, Richard Hawley) Among the band’s other supporters was the late Michael Davis of the legendary MC5. 

Deadtime continue to receive outstanding reviews for their high octane, raw, emotive live shows. International and national radio airplay for the band has come from Don Letts, Jarvis Cocker, Janice Long and Tom Robinson (BBC Introducing/BBC6) to name a few. Deadtime have also appeared on Channel 4 (Strummerville Sessions) Russia Today (Going Underground) and had Michael Socha from This is England/Being Human appear in their 'Bad Lad' and direct the video for 'Hardlines'.

'' Musically and lyrically brilliant'' -  Tom Robinson (BBC6, Activist, Songwriter)

''One of my favourite 2018 albums'' Steve White (Style Council, Paul Weller, The Art of Drumming)
