Ground Control Touring

Death Bells is the longtime musical collaboration between Will Canning and Remy Veselis. Formed in 2015 during their late adolescent years in Sydney, Australia, the act has proven to be a mainstay in the alternative underground musical landscape both in their homeland and overseas during their five-year history. Blurring the lines of post-punk and garage rock, Death Bells has morphed and transformed as the two members have grown up throughout their late teenage years living together into early adulthood.

With Canning’s distinctive baritone and the kinetic collection of reverb-drenched leads by Veselis being a constant during their musical output, the two made the permanent move 7,000 miles away to Los Angeles, California in 2018 where the current incarnation of Death Bells has blossomed.

The band has returned with new EP “Take My Spirit Now”, less than a year after the release of their last album, “Between Here & Everywhere”, on Dais Records.
The new material, written and recorded in late 2022 after months of touring North America and Europe, introduces an unruly new sound; with jagged guitars careening through towering feedback and textured drums.

Produced during intimate, focused sessions at Paradise Studios in Anaheim, “Take My Spirit Now” explores themes of love, paranoia, and destiny. The band enlisted longtime friend Morgan Wright, of Australian label Burning Rose, to mix the EP, with Wright’s background in electronic music influencing the more programmatic elements of the release.
