Richmond’s Dead Format keep their summer streak alive with Shark in the Pool, their third single of the season and the final preview before their debut album Forget What I Said drops on August 15 via Say-10 Records.
Built on rapid-fire riffs, driving bass, and tightly wound rhythms, Shark in the Pool captures the band’s knack for blending urgency with melody. The vocals cut through with equal parts grit and clarity, delivering hooks that stick without losing the raw punch of their melodic hardcore roots.
Following the momentum of their earlier singles, this track feels like a statement—Dead Format are not just introducing themselves, they’re arriving fully formed. If Shark in the Pool is any indication, Forget What I Said is set to hit hard and leave a mark.
