Biography

Hiding in the dark, melancholic hardcore band DXWNSIDES exude haunting melodies and sullen riffs, drenched in lush and ethereal soundscapes. Forever in flux between dreamy and bleak ambience and high-octane rage and aggression, the group experiments between these states of emotion and finds unique ways to blend their anger and their pain into a state of undeniable grief. Exploring themes of love, loss, and anger: whilst combining a unique blend of shoegaze, melodic hardcore, emo, and ambience, all encompassed within an unending feeling of hopelessness that conveys their signature sound. The group stay hidden, drowning in darkness and saturated in shimmering reverbs in a portrayal of distance and desperation. Now amassed with over 100K streams on Spotify alone, the bands sophomore album ‘I Will Never Be Enough’ was received with glowing reception from fans and press alike. Described as “sadness soaked” by many, the record is a flowing exploration of love, loss, solitude, and addiction; with a focus on catchy hooks and dreamy soundscapes, drenched in their signature use of heavy reverb. Pushing themselves, their music, and their live production; late 2022 saw the band exploring darker sounds and themes within their music. Dwelling within the moodier and more aggressive side of their sound, the group has incorporated heavier and more experimental styles within their catalogue to create a rage filled and cathartic live experience.
