DEATH LENS relentlessly seeks a place in your consciousness, a persistent pres- ence whispering in your ear. Concealing ferocity beneath a stylish veneer, their live shows unleash energy and chaos, leaving spectators disarmed and forev- er transformed. After successful tours with Militarie Gun and Together Pangea and hometown support, DEATH LENS is poised to release their latest album, Cold World, on May 3rd, through Epitaph Records. In recordings, DEATH LENS forges unyielding rock, blending West Coast surf punk with Britrock’s tight, bouncy rhythms. Despite their deceptive chill and vibe-focused portrayal, live perfor- mances brim with hardcore intensity. Rooted in slick guitar sonics and sugary backing vocal harmonies, reminiscent of indie punk and shoegaze, DEATH LENS channels the energy of bands like Turn- stile and Militarie Gun on stage, creating soundtracks for indelible memories of high-energy, sweat-soaked singalongs.

Hailing from La Puente, the self-de- scribed “five Brown boys” transition from showcasing explosive energy in record- ings to embodying a refined represen- tation of hard work and early influences gaining traction in their scene. Growing up as minorities east of Los Angeles amidst police harassment and gang vi- olence, DEATH LENS faced risk factors that could have led them astray. Evolving from a party garage punk band, they now serve as a platform addressing life in heavily policed and immigrant-dominant areas, advocating for immigration re- forms, and utilizing resources to support their community. Their experiences form a powerful narrative within their music.
