Dead Favours - MNZ Interview: The AUX Return 004: Dead Favours
01 May 2023 // An interview by Nicholas Clark
The AUX Return caught up with Auckland band Dead Favours during their nationwide tour to promote Riffing and Yelling Part 2. This 6 track album forms one half of what would have been one album in an alternative universe without covid-19 and Auckland floods. Recorded at the legendary Revolver Studios in Waiuku and Six60’s own studio in Auckland, this album is more uplifting and upbeat than their last effort, discussing topics such as survival and keeping hope alive amidst disaster.
Frontman Jared and drummer Charlie told us all about the process, the tour, how they would happily replace both of themselves with Dave Grohl, and their love of warm crunchy amps. Enjoy!
Warning: involves slightly out of time hand clapping for OCD audience members...

The success of this debut single lead to a nationwide tour alongside the already popular Skinny Hobos, Decades and Bakers Eddy which saw the band increase momentum and pick up an army of new fans all around the country.
The band quickly followed with the singles High Flying and Better The Weather (produced again by Tom Larkin) which has seen the band go on to be invited to perform at festivals such as Jim Beam Homegrown, Demon Energy Rock The Park and share the stage with international acts Royal Blood and Rise Against which was received with rave reviews;
