A SNAPSHOT of modern day British life for four men in their mid-twenties will be provided by East London four-piece Dexters at PJ Molloys tonight (Thursday).

The band – Tom Rowlett (vocals), Ben Deboo (guitar), Jamie Harris (bass) and Chris Mardon (drums) – will play in Dunfermline as part of a UK-wide tour this month to promote their recently released second album ‘We Paid For Blood’.

Despite only releasing their debut album last year and followed it where they honed their frenzied live shows, the quartet immediately set their sights on creating a quick-fire follow up which picked up support from Radio 1 and recently received Q Magazine’s Track of the Day for one of its singles, ‘The Wolves’.

Those in attendance at the Canmore Street venue will be treated to an album full of amped-up hymns of defiance and thrilling rock ‘n’ roll songs revelling in underdog spirit, the spark for which came when Rowlett’s father, a caretaker at an East London school where he also lived on site for almost 20 years, lost his job when the school was closed.

For Rowlett, it signified everything that is wrong in modern society and he said: “Now my dad lives outside London and I don’t see him as much; that ain’t right. I started writing angry young man songs. Almost 20 years he worked there but that’s not good enough. I was writing songs not about the man, but about how hard it is for working class people. We don’t get any breaks."

The Mona Lisas and Lost in Vancouver will also be on the bill supporting Dexters.

Tickets are available on the door from 7pm for £5.
