Wigan grit-pop duo Dafties tag-team with AEW wrestler Myron Reed on new summer single 'Lawnchair.exe'

Wigan grit-pop duo Dafties have released their new single, Lawnchair.exe, featuring rapper and AEW pro wrestler Kid Reed (Myron Reed).

The collaboration marks the first time the pair (Connor of Dafties and Myron) have officially recorded together, despite a friendship and working relationship stretching back to 2014 on music and marketing projects.

The release arrives ahead of Reed's expected appearance as part of AEW's All In London event at Wembley Stadium this August and serves as the latest preview of Dafties' forthcoming EP, Tea, due later this year.

Since forming in October 2024, Dafties have built a growing reputation both locally and internationally.

The duo have been featured on BBC Introducing Merseyside 12 times over the past 10 months, amassed hundreds of thousands of Spotify streams, received an overwhelming volume of international radio airplay, and were recently described by Warrington Worldwide as “Lily Allen meets Sonic Youth”.

Closer to home, Dafties sold out their hometown headline show at The Old Courts Holding Cell in February, performed at Wigan Live Festival earlier this year, and most recently appeared at Millstone Festival in Golborne raising money in aid of Wigan & Leigh Hospice.

The pair have coined the term “grit-pop” to describe their blend of distorted guitars, pop melodies and sharp storytelling. Taken from our forthcoming EP Tea (due Q3 2026), Lawnchair.exe (Feat. Kid Reed) blends indie pop, alt-rock and hip-hop, drawing inspiration from the rap-featured alternative rock songs that dominated the early-2000s music scene. Built on bright summer production, shakers and sax, the track balances an upbeat energy with a moody lyrical theme. The duo will be with Reed at Wembley this August, further promoting the release of the single, the EP 'Tea' and their unlikely Wigan UK/Kentucky, US collaboration.
