Behind The Tracks: Dez Dare - Got A Fire In My Socket (Single) (2024)

Dez Dare launches 2024 with the 1st single from his forthcoming album, ‘Got a Fire In My Socket’.

‘A Billion Goats. A Billion Sparks. Fin.’ features 11 songs that delve further into the void than previous records, leaving the sardonic frustration behind for sarcastic existentialism, zeroing in on the big philosophical questions, and the pedantic shards of nonsense that make up our existence.

This track is a fuzzed-up, bass and synth-driven, stomper that tackles the biggest question of all... as the wires fray from the burden of existence + the last sparks shimmer in your consciousness, the void has one simple question... “What tunes do you want playing on the way out?”.

The Stooges ‘Real Cool Time’?

The Triffids ‘A Trick of the Light’?

Judy & the Jerks ‘Good Time’?

Nicki Minaj ‘Red Ruby Da Sleeze’?

Whatever your taste, the small things matter.

Make it a strong choice!

The self-produced Australian has spent over 3 decades producing music, releasing and touring bands, and doing live sound for Z-grade metal bands. Growing up in the coastal town of Geelong (Djilang) in Australia, he was introduced to the DIY punk and rock scene at 15 and this community and the ideas rooted in the underground music scene have guided his output and ethics throughout his career.

This year Dez will be joining forces with label titans God Unknown (Cassels / Duke Garwood / James Johnston + Steve Gullick / KLÄMP / Oneida / Laura Loriga / Monster Magnet / Wellwater Conspiracy [Soundgarden + Monster Magnet]) and will be producing a deluxe version of the album on blob color vinyl and includes a comic book illustrated by Mike Keane. In true nerd fashion, the comic also features top 10s by Dez, Jason Stoll (God Unknown), Matthew Barnhart (Chicago Mastering Service), Mike Keane, and the album illustrator MALMALL.
