Death and the Penguin are an English four-piece Alternative band from London, England.

The band consists of Toby Smith (vocals/guitar), Chris Olsen (guitar/keyboard/vocals), Andy Acred (bass/keyboard/vocals) and Phil Gadsden (drums). The band's musical style has been described as a combination of hardcore, indie and math rock, and has been compared to established acts such as The Mars Volta, Radiohead and Minus The Bear.

The band released their debut album "Anomie" on 27 July 2018, featuring the singles Kill Saatchi ("a perfect equilibrium between disjointed key signatures and catchy instrumentals" - The Line of Best Fit) and Colour In Me ("a devastating bout of avant rock that breaks down barriers into tiny little pieces" - Clash (magazine)).
