Fuzzy Psych Punker DEZ DARE Shares New "Josephine Says Explode" Music Video!
The last video for Dez Dare's latest fuzz beast of an album is available for all to see and titled Josephine Says Explode. The track is one of his more straight ahead rock tracks, fizzing and rumbling along with both mellow introspections and explosive hooks.
Who is this Josephine one might ask? Is it the same person from his song Monkey, Monkey? Or is Dare just really into the name? Why does he keep singing about monkeys and Josephine's? Who knows. All we know is her wise words... "It's OK to let shit out. Vent. Scream. Write weird songs. If you don't, you could blow." Taking her words to heart, Dez hit the beach with his Walkman in true 80s film fashion, to let off said steam.

Dez Dare - Dez Dare - Josephine Says Explode (official video)
The self-produced Australian has spent over 3 decades producing music, releasing and touring bands, and doing live sound for z-grade metal groups. Growing up in the coastal town of Geelong (Djilang) in Australia, he was introduced to the DIY punk and rock scene at 15 and this community and the ideas rooted in the underground music scene have guided his output and ethics throughout his career.
With this release Dez has joined forces with label titans God Unknown (Cassels / Duke Garwood / James Johnston + Steve Gullick / KLÄMP / Oneida / Laura Loriga / Monster Magnet / Wellwater Conspiracy [Soundgarden + Monster Magnet]) and has produced a deluxe version of the album on blob colour vinyl which includes a comic book illustrated by Mike Keane. In true nerd fashion the comic also features top 10s by Dez, Jason Stoll (God Unknown), Matthew Barnhart (Chicago Mastering Service), Mike Keane, and the album illustrator MALMALL.
Catch Dez live this April across the Midlands and south of the UK. The Josephine Says Explode video and A Billion Goats. A Billion Sparks. Fin. out now on God Unknown Records.
