The Black Sheep Frederick Dickens are a darkwave/gothic-electro duo from Darlington consisting of former Goy Boy McIlroy frontman David Saunders and producer Rob Irish.

Their dark and cinematic soundscapes combined with unhinged, baritone vocals; conceptualise the life and legacy of Charles Dickens' wastrel brother. They take a tragic story filled with darkness and despair and use it as a metaphor for the modern day.

Their live performances are energetic, theatrical and filled with a semi-operatic intensity and rock ‘n’ roll edge that complements the varied waves of classical instrumentation, organic samples and heavy industrial sounds. They are an exciting experimental act reminiscent of Scott Walker, Nick Cave, The Dead Can Dance and early Pet Shop Boys/Depeche Mode.

The Dickensian duo are following up their recent single ‘Shrines’ (which received radio play on BBC Introducing Tees/Newcastle and Tom Robinson’s Mixtape on BBC Radio 6) with their self titled EP to be released on vinyl/digital download via Butterfly Effect Records on 5th November.
