DANCEHALL are a punk-infused, garage rock band from London. According to their Facebook page, the trio have been around since January, but their definitive sound implies that this band - whether individually or not - have been brewing creativity for a bit longer than that.

Have a listen to their third SoundCloud listing, Vs and Gs. This rampant track is A-side to the band's debut 7" vinyl release, coming to you lovely people on October 21st. By pumping hints of shoegaze into an already adrenaline-feulled set-up, DANCEHALL have birthed a sound that epitomises the phrase "a feast for your ears". They've merged two almost-but-not-quite-the-same genres together, successfully creating an infectious track, that you can't help but dance to.
"...[the song] is about the relationship (love/hate) that we have with ourselves, our patriarchs, and our shit lives..."
It's a dead good listen. Give it a shot:
