DZ Deathrays – No Sleep

January 27, 2012 marc 1 comment

Heard this song the other day and instantly loved it. DZ Death Rays is a noise thrash duo from Brisbane, Australia. They were just pegged as 4th Most Exciting New Band of 2012 by NME. Their U.S. debut, the No Sleep EP drops March 6th on 3|4 and shortly after they’ll be tearing up stages at SXSW.

Shotgun a beer to this.

In case you think I’d lead you wrong, here’s some additional praise for DZ Death Rays:

“They’re Australian, there’s two of them, they’re hairy, they have great riffs, they’re very shouty, amazingly energetic and really rather scary onstage. Winner!”
- Huw Stephens, BBC1

“Finally got to see DZ Deathrays who are like a more punk Death From Above 1979 and totally awesome.” - Jen Long, BBC1

“I love DZ Deathrays – this kind of hardcore band, they have a brilliant videos and songs and a great sense of humour and style.”
- Mark Ronson

“They’re a two-piece but somehow they manage to sound like four hardcore bands.”
- Ruban, Unknown Mortal Orchestra
