Formed in late 2013 by David Rybka (vox/guitar), Tom Doherty (bass) and Paul Barlow (drums), the Wigan (UK) based trio ‘Deep ... shade’ produce a dark, brooding melting pot of grungy alternative rock merged with elements of psychedelic blues.
Resonating with a fusion of sounds inspired by a diverse range of influences such as QOTSA, Beck, The Doors, RATM, Nirvana, Led Zepplin, Alice In Chains etc, Deepshade create a sonic experience that aspires to deliver something fresh to the British music scene.
Along with establishing a loyal following across the North of England on the strength of their live shows, Deepshade have gained airplay support from BBC Introducing and a plethora of alternative radio stations within the UK, EU and USA. Despite only a relatively short period of time together as a creative unit, Deepshade were soon to be recognised as one of the Hot Top Ten unsigned British bands to check out, by The Guardian (UK newspaper)
Now under the wing of UK label/management - Ambicon Music Group, Deepshade launched their debut free download single 'Tattoo' in May 2015. Launching as just a taster of things to come from the rock outfit, the single gained acclamation from Krank TV and rock media worldwide.
Deepshade's debut album “Everything Popular is Wrong” - recorded with producer/engineer John Kettle (Merry Hell, Moko, Tansads) & mastered by Fran Ashcroft (Spin Jupiter Spin, Gorillaz) is set for release in Sept 2015 with UK tours soon to be announced.
TATTOO
Deepshade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the riches in the world
She’s got the Looks
From her ankles to her lips
Anagram Dreams she lied
Always occupied she tries
Don’t talk that much
We never got along alright
We never got alone
She had a tattoo
From her ankles to her lips
A shadow of you
She’s always occupied
Sexy little minx
Defiant and brave
Sip liquor from the flame
A 1920’s Dane
We never got along alright
We never got alone
She had a tattoo..
The lyrics in Deepshade's song Tattoo describe a woman who is beautiful and alluring, but also mysterious and enigmatic. The singer acknowledges that she has all the riches in the world and is physically attractive, with features that extend from her ankles to her lips. However, the woman is also deceitful, as she lied about her anagram dreams and is always occupied with something else, never talking much. Despite this, she is a "renegade girl" who is sexy, defiant, and brave.
The singer and the woman never got along or got along together because of her mysterious nature. The woman has a tattoo that covers her body from her ankles to her lips, and it's described as a shadow of someone else. She's always occupied, but the singer never knows with what. The description of the woman as a sexy little minx who sips liquor from the flame and a 1920s Dane implies that she's dangerous and unconventional.

This is why it pays to hover over someone's name. If I had not hovered over your name on the complimentary comment you made about Drenge I might never have heard of Deep Shade and this great tune, 'go on chaps' indeed! Keep it up, laddies, you've made a fan from Dundee :)
