11 Jan 2012 : DZ DEATHRAYS | #2 ON NME MAGAZINE'S WATCH LIST
DZ Deathrays have had a massive 12 months & there are no signs of slowing down thanks to the thumbs-up of NME Magazine - including a double page feature spread.
At the start of every year NME do a '100 bands to watch this year' list & this year DZ came in at a rockin' #2 on said list! Recent signing, Worlds End Press also recieved some NME loving featuring as one the 25 best bands. WEP’s Faithful has been played nearly 3000 times on Soundcloud in less than a week.
This is an incredible tick of approval for the Brisbane duo who continue to turn heads with their hectic live shows and good time rock'n'roll anthems. Off the back of just two EP releases, 'Ruined My Life (2009)' & 'Brutal Tapes (2011) ' DZ have toured relentlessly and earned the kudos of peers the world over.
"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 on stage. Winner" - Huw Stephens
"I love DZ Deathrays - This kind of hardcore band, they have brilliant videos and songs and a great sense of humor and style" - Mark Ronson
"I watched DZ half an hour ago, we're on tour together. They're a two-piece but somehow they manage to sound like four hardcore bands!" - Ruban, Unknown Mortal Orchestra
The band hits the road later this month for the Laneway Festival, kicking off January 28th in their hometown of Brisbane.
