Just who do we think we are??
Deadshift wasn’t born in a sterile boardroom; it was forged in a cold garage on a Friday night, somewhere in the heart of Walsall. It started with the lingering smell of engine oil and the sound of a distorted guitar riff tearing through a pair of worn-out speakers.
For years, I felt like I was living two lives. By day, it was the daily grind. But by night, my world was about two things: the raw power of automotive machinery and the aggressive energy of heavy music. It was about the satisfaction of rebuilding an engine bolt by bolt, and the release of a perfectly timed metalcore breakdown. My passions were loud, gritty, and mechanical.
(The Problem / The Spark of the Idea)
The problem was, my identity felt split. The brands that catered to car culture didn't get the music scene. The band merch I loved wasn't built to withstand an oil change or a day in the workshop. Nothing on the market spoke to the person who felt equally at home in a mosh pit and under the bonnet of a car.
I wanted something that represented both sides of my soul. Clothing that was tough enough for the garage, but with designs that spoke to the culture of the stage. A brand that understood that the rhythm of a piston and the rhythm of a double-kick drum come from the same place.
(Our Ethos / What Deadshift Is)
That's why Deadshift was created. It's the bridge between those two worlds.
Our name represents that single, perfect moment where everything aligns—the 'dead-on' shift at the redline, the silent beat before a song explodes into chaos. It's about precision meeting power.
We are dedicated to creating hard-wearing apparel that embodies the spirit of the builder, the modder, the musician, and the fan. Every design is a nod to the fusion of heavy metal and horsepower, crafted for those who aren't afraid to get their hands dirty and turn the volume up.
(The Promise / More Than Clothing)
"This is more than just clothing to us. It's a uniform for a dedicated crew. We believe in quality that lasts, designs that are authentic, and a brand that stands for a genuine lifestyle. Our gear is made to be worn, stained, and lived in—a true reflection of your passions.
Welcome to the crew 🤘🏻
