Biography:
Dexters are Tom Rowlett (vocals), Chris Heggie (guitars, BV’s), Ben Debo (lead guitar, BV’s), Chris Mardon (drums) and Jamie Harris (bass). The band formed in 2011 after growing up together on estates in the rougher part of East London. Their sound is inspired by where they grew up with narrative packed lyrics about how hard life can be with influences including the melodies of The La’s and The Strokes and the sheer punk, visceral aggression of The Clash and The Buzzcocks.

Am C G F
Why must every battle have to be uphill?
Am C G F
And always such a struggle to get across how you feel
Am C G F
All this time and still the only thing we’ve learnt
Am C G F
Is you tried your hardest, your hardest but for little in return
C G Am F
And you give, you give, you give but it’s never enough
C G Am F
As watching eyes sharpen their knives waiting for you to slip up
C G Am F
You give, you give, you give but it’s never enough
C G Am F
There’s always the voice you hear from above screaming
We paid for blood
Am C Am C

Am C G F
Must of our leaders just lead us astray
Am C G F
They say they care but there’s little doubt here we're on our own these days
Am C G F
There’s more than enough to go around just don’t filter down from the top
Am C G F
You’re working your hardest, your hardest t’keep the little that you’ve got
C G Am F
And you give, you give, you give but it’s never enough

As watching eyes sharpen their knives waiting for you to slip up

You give, you give, you give but it’s never enough
