Ditz (Uk)
Queer noise-punk outfit DITZ first played Grauzone several years ago, and we’re excited to welcome them back as one of the UK’s most uncompromising live bands. Based in Brighton, the group draws on the abrasive energy of The Jesus Lizard and Shellac, while embracing the jagged post-punk of The Fall and the modern intensity of Gilla Band and Model/Actriz.
Since their debut The Great Regression, DITZ have toured relentlessly, building a fierce reputation that culminated in IDLES inviting them along for their global arena tour. Their latest record, Never Exhale—recorded at Holy Mountain Studio in London and mixed by Seth Manchester (Lingua Ignota, Model/Actriz)—channels that restless energy into songs that tackle political and personal themes: hatred, division, the body, aging and existential displacement. Sonically, the album adds new dimensions, weaving in atmospheric textures that recall Mogwai alongside their signature chaos.
DITZ return to Grauzone Festival louder, sharper and more vital than ever.
