DZ Deathrays

No Sleep

If there were one word that DZ Deathrays would use to sum up 2011 it would have to be “brutal”. After signing to Melbourne based record label I OH YOU early last year and releasing their 2nd EP “Brutal Tapes” as well as their debut EP in Europe, Shane Parsons and Simon Ridley have quickly impressed music lovers and critics across the world.

Since the first house party they ever played, the duo have been noted as a relentless live act, 2011 proved to be no different with the two friends hitting the highways of Australia with many acts including Foo Fighters, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, F**ked Up and Dananananaykroyd. They also made several trips overseas including performances at SXSW and The Great Escape, shows with Band of Skulls, Male Bonding, Unknown Mortal Orchestra and finally full tours of the UK with NYC punk band Cerebral Ballzy and the NME Radar tour.

DZ Deathrays quickly fell into the good graces of highly respected publications NME Magazine and Q Magazine who both placed DZ Deathrays in their “top 10 bands of The Great Escape”, while NME took their praise even further and placed them as the 4th most exciting new act of 2012 including a double page spread on the band featuring quotes from Mark Ronson, Unknown Mortal Orchestra and Huw Stephens of the BBC1!

No Sleep is from their upcoming debut to be released later in 2012.
