We’re still on the fence about the vitality status of Montreal post-punk/power-pop outfit Dead Messenger – they’re clearly not Zombies (that would make them un-dead), but maybe Cthulu cult-resurrected? In any case, the lads are currently hard at work in the studio for their upcoming 2012 release, and we’re definitely excited.

To tide you over until the new year, check out Outside In and Dog In My Pocket in the embed below – if you’re still in the mood for more rock of this sort, hit up their Bandcamp page for a $2+ download of their debut LP Love Is The Only Weapon
