We haven't covered Philly violin-aided Folk Punk trio The Deadeyes since 2018, but that's largely our fault for dragging our feet... because The Deadeyes have been far from inactive since 2018: having released their Mind Cabin & No More Later / Narco EP's throughout 2018 and Cover Songs and "Last Days of Summer" in 2020. Those individual songs and EP's have since been pulled and scrubbed from streaming services, as they've been re-mixed, re-mastered, and re-collected on The Deadeyes' newly-released Collected Recordings.

No More Later / Narco by The Deadeyes Ever wonder what a "screaming violin" haphazardly nestled atop a feverish medley of "scorching guitars" and a pummeling drum/rhythm section filtered through a Punk/Hardcore lens might sound like? If so, look no further than Philly -based 3-piece band, The Deadeyes . Consisting of violinist John Coursey , vocalist and guitar player Patrick McHugh , and drummer David McMullin , The Deadeyes play a unique brand of violin-driven, Soul -tinged Punk that's been fittingly described as if " The Black Keys had a love child with [Nick Cave &] The Bad Seeds ." The Deadeyes' members have previously played with long-standing underground group Grubstake , as well as High Hearts , The Mikroknytes, and McHugh & McMullin's hilariously-named 90's college band, Connie Chung .
