Dead Favours are proud to announce that on 31st March Riffing & Yelling Part 2 featuring hit single SOS will finally be released. This is the second half of the album that earnt them the Best Rock Artist nod at the 2021 Aotearoa Music Awards. Delayed by the second prolonged lockdown in 2021, the band months behind schedule decided to take their time with the final writing and production of Part 2 and they are pleased with the results.

Bass guitarist Alex says "It feels great to finally finish the project we started 2 years ago. In spite of all the adversity from lockdowns, floods and various other biblical disasters, we've managed to complete something really special, and I can't wait for everyone to hear it in March 2023.”

Recorded across two locations, the legendary Revolver Studios in Waiuku and Six60’s own studio in Auckland, Dead Favours once again teamed up with Chris Mac (Six60) as producer and Neil Baldock as engineer.

The band featuring Steriogram’s Jared Wrennall (frontman), Skinny Hobos' Alex Elvis (bass), Charlie Smith (drummer) and Kyle Wetton (guitarist) will soon be on the road taking the fully completed album to adoring fans across Aotearoa this April and May – also Aotearoa New Zealand Music Month!
