Dead Favours - Move On

Jared Wrennall’s (Steriogram) band Dead Favours erupted onto the NZ airwaves in 2016 with their chart-topping debut single "Dig" and they are now celebrating the release of their second album 'Riffing & Yelling' with a nationwide tour. Produced by Six60’s Chris Mac, Riffing & Yelling, will be released in a two-part series. The first part ‘Side A' will release on Friday 21 May and ‘side b’ in Q4 of 2021. After quickly establishing themselves as a household name on the NZ rock scene with a succession of hit singles "Dig", "High Flying" and "On Your Own", Dead Favours will be bringing tunes from ‘side a’ including the new single Move On which is out today, alongside notable favourites from their first album 'Misbehaviour', frontman Jared Wrennall states, “This album was written whilst going through a break-up. Though it’s kind of personal, it’s also on a level that many people will be able to relate to. It’s dark but it’s light, it’s sad but it’s happy. It’s an album I never thought I’d write, but I’m glad I did.”

Inspiring new energy into the band, Alex Elvis, better known as Skinny Hobos frontman has recently joined the band on bass for the album writing process and the Dead Favours winter tour alongside frontman Jared Wrennall, drummer Charlie Smith and guitarist Kyle Wetton. Dead Favours have shared the stage with some of New Zealand’s finest acts including Villainy, Shihad and Racing, scoring significant support slots opening for some of the biggest rock acts in the world including the likes of Royal Blood, Wolfmother and Halestorm and been regulars at the ever-great Jim Beam Homegrown Festival in Wellington for the last three years. Their 2019 debut album produced by Shihad’s Tom Larkin debuted at number 1 on Apple music. It was packed with 10 commercially viable and riff tastic songs that combined catchy hooks with headbanging riffs that saw audiences across the country both connect with and rock out to as they toured after its release.
