Deeper (band)

The band was an active part of the Chicago DIY music scene, eventually releasing a pair of demos on producer/engineer Dave Vettraino's imprint Public House Sound Recordings in June 2014.

With the lineup finalized, Deeper scrapped all previous material and began developing a more aggressive sound, eventually self-released "Transmogrified"[2] in June 2016.

The band spent the remainder of 2016 and 2017 writing and playing shows locally with the likes of Chris Cohen, Protomartyr, and embarking on regional tours.

Paste said the record "does ultimately push their spring-loaded sound even further, adding buoyant synths into the mix and even stickier riffs than before, but more than that, it depicts shades of despair that aren’t always easy to articulate.

Pitchfork said of the record, "nearly every song sounds like a long-lost gem from post-punk’s 1980s heyday, with subtle updates from four subsequent decades of indie music.

Reviewing the Seattle show, The Stranger noted "Gohl and Drew McBride's galvanizing guitar interplay and a rhythm section—drummer Shiraz Bhatti and bassist Kevin Fairbairn—that knows how to optimize the dynamics of excitement."

On October 31st, NME announced that Deeper will be supporting Depeche Mode on the European leg of the Memento Mori World Tour.

In August 2024, the band toured Europe and played notable festivals Paredes de Coura,[15] Canela Party,[16] and La Route du Rock,[17] as well as shows in Portugal, France, Spain, Romania, Italy, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Germany, and Belgium.
