Form

In 2003, Dunedin teenagers Andrew Wilson (guitar/vocals) and Michael Prain (drums) formed Die! Die! Die! with friend Henry Oliver (bass). Following a self-titled debut album in 2005, the band embarked on an ambitious series of international tours over the course of the next four years. When Oliver left in 2006, Wilson and Prain invited Lachlan Anderson to join; he appeared on the 2007's Promises, Promises, and has been with the group ever since. Having signed with the newly revived Flying Nun label, Die! Die! Die! present their third full-length, Form. Much of the album was written while holed up last winter in Dunedin. That city isn't the only Flying Nun connection either - Form was produced by Nick Roughan from The Skeptics. The recording retains plenty of the band's trademark cataclysmic punk style, yet, with the help of Roughan, Die! Die! Die! have crafted a new, more densely layered sound and combined it with haunting melodies.
