The "Good Old Days" single finds DEADLETTER leaning into a more melodic, yet still driving, sound that hints at the infectious energy they would further refine in subsequent releases. It serves as a potent early statement from a band already carving out their niche.
- "Good Old Days" was released on May 1, 2020, with no official label affiliation. The single was self-released during the COVID-19 pandemic, impacting the band's ability to promote it through live performances. It quickly became a staple in their live setlists following subsequent easing of restrictions.
- The single showcases DEADLETTER's blend of jagged guitars, insistent basslines, and anthemic choruses, characteristic of the modern post-punk revival. DEADLETTER would go on to release their debut EP "Hi," later in 2021.
- The single features a B-side titled "The Devil's Dancing," offering a slightly more experimental counterpoint to the A-side's directness. DEADLETTER has cited influences ranging from Wire to Gang of Four.
DEADLETTER is a post-punk band from London. They are known for their energetic live shows and driving guitar riffs. In 2020, the band released the single "Good Old Days" as they were establishing themselves within the UK's burgeoning post-punk scene.
