Formed in Sydney, Australia in 2014, Death Bells are a morose yet romantic dream pop outfit that incorporate elements of post-punk and shoegaze into their sound. Founded by friends Maurice Santiago, Will Canning, and Aron Postolovic, the line-up was completed with the addition of Remy Veselis, whom Santiago met in Spain during the fall of the same year. Veselis was living in England at the time, during which the band began writing music in Postolovic's grandparents' basement.
