‘Deadlock’ is a nod to the deadlock that 2020 has been for the music industry, and encapsulates the frustration and restlessness that this has created for musicians. According to the band, ‘Deadlock’ has formed a part of their live sets for a while now, and “it’s always a highlight; it’s fierce, relentless and gets a great reaction whenever we play it.”
Scalping now join a roster of artists that includes Lotic, Aisha Devi and Special Request. Houndstooth co-founders Rob Butterworth and Rob Booth have commented on the new singing, saying, “Scalping are the most exciting new band on the plant. We couldn’t be happier that they’ve signed to Houndstooth.”
