As the sun sets on an ever-heating planet, strange synthesizers converse in the distance, punctured by disco rhythms and interjected by saxophone growls, akin to a jukebox of divine sadistic temptations, oozing goth rock-esque melodies that forever haunt you... You have just been exposed to the groovy sonic onslaught of CSDM, a collective based in Atlanta (GA) that features current and former members of alternative outfits: Material Girls, Neighbor Lady, Mothers and Rose Hotel.

While in the confines of their windowless subterranean concrete studio, CDSM is helmed by Ben Presley, Tyler Jundt and John Restivo Jr.. The live band features accompaniment from Jack Blauvelt, Drew Kirby and Vinny Restivo. This formula, consisting of an evil choir of synthesizers, a shining drum set bathed in red fog, a tenor brass machete, and a cascading flow of motley melodists, is said to affect the room like a defibrillator jolting its pulse.

Their first EP, Hell Stairs (April 29th, 2022 via Mothland & Exag), is both glamorous and bleak, swanky and derelict, uplifting and crushing. It’s hedonism clinking in your glass, change jingling in the pit of your chest. For fans of Viagra Boys, The Voidz, Total Control, Bodega or Fat White Family.

The new album - 'Convertible Hearse' - was released in May 9th, 2025 through Mothland Rds and Exag Rds
