‘DiMM’ was composed in an hour, and was predominantly a vehicle to poke fun at the post-punk scene’s drive to emulate each other’s sound. The single, from Irish nine-piece Peer Pleasure, quickly became a fan favorite. Saxophone hooks meet loaded guitars telling a story of being cornered by someone obsessing over their ‘fave’ band – we’ve all been there.
Discussing the single, the band says:
The track’s lyrics aim to subvert and poke fun at a particular genre and sound that we felt has been very pervasive in the Irish and UK music scene for the last 10 years: bands that really want to sound like other bands, bands from BiMM, and post-post-post-post-post punk bands.
It was written to amuse ourselves and our friends and to have fun with that style of writing without taking it all too seriously, and then it ended up being really popular at our live shows
The lyrics describe being in an environment where you really don’t want to talk or engage with other people who do really want to talk to you, reminiscent of night outs where you meet so many guys in so many bands and every single one wants to tell you about it or try to book a gig with you”
The Irish nine-piece played 98 shows across Ireland and mainland Europe in 2023 and 2024 before making their US debut at New York’s New Colossus Festival. Their debut album, Unvetted Males, arrives on 4 December.
