So old mate Travis Barker has failed in his quest to overcome a fear of flying in time for Soundwave Festival. Apparently the plan was to drug him and smuggle him on the plane (I guess it beats catching a boat). Brooks Wackerman of Bad Religion fame will be filling in for Blink 182’s upcoming performances. Not a bad trade.   The Smith Street Band have added an extra Melbourne show to their... Read More

DZ Deathrays are trotting out one last single from Bloodstreams lest anyone forget what brain melting punk heathens they are. This is the track that actually has the words ‘blood stream’ in it, plus a gnarly, fuzzed out guitar/kick drum bridge that just hammers and hammers and hammers on your chest.  Read More

Our faithful singles reviewer Simone looks back at the best local tracks of 2012. 1. BOY & BEAR Big Man (Universal) Demure, bittersweet and beautiful, Big Man has some of the most memorable lines Dave Hosking has yet written, including this one: “I fell in this position, I’ll still teach my kids pride, because failure’s a part of it all.

DZ Deathrays : Cops Capacity
0 Comments. 263 Views. Posted 7 Nov 2012 @ 4:57pm.
The Deathrays explode and contract in their feral minimalist fashion, gunning the lead guitar and slapping the drums, hoisting up a wall of sound then cutting it off unceremoniously, all twitchy, screamo and irritable. Meanwhile, in the video, a pair of wolf-headed cops molest the innocent. Brilliant. Read More

It’s a packed out crowd at The Corner Hotel for Call The Cops, the collective party thrown by Yacht Club DJs, DZ Deathrays and Bleeding Knees Club. The event is sold out, the beer is flowing and the partygoers are in high spirits as Drunk Mums kick off the festivities with their ramshackle psychedelic surf rock.

DZ Deathrays : Dollar Chills

This rocking little garage punk tune saw Brisbane’s DZ Deathrays booted off stage during SXSW. It is a mind-melting thing, played live. The recorded version feels very polite by comparison, right up until the squalling, electrified final chorus, when the boys start screaming and hammering their guitars like the snotty pubescent troublemakers they are.

  Simon Ridley and Shane Parsons look uncomfortable, sitting in their record label’s office. They’re surrounded by CDs, touring posters and all manner of modern music memorabilia. Still, for the first few minutes of our conversation, the drummer and singer/guitarist of Brisbane duo DZ Deathrays are at once bored and fidgety. “It’s been a long day of interviews,” shrugs Ridley, passing me...

  DZ Deathrays embody all that is good about rock‘n’roll, in the way that bands like Kiss and Motley Crue set the standard in the '80s, DZ Deathrays are quickly becoming the epitome of rock‘n’roll in today's climate. There's no crotch enhancing devices, face paint or questionable haircuts – in fact DZ Deathrays could probably walk down the street unnoticed in their jeans and t-shirts – but... Read More

  A great festival is meant to cement the zeitgeist of the times and properly represent those in attendance. If this is the case, we’re living in a fairly atmospheric world, heavy on complacency and light on knock-out punches. And the punters are more than happy to ride that wave.   Laneway Melbourne didn’t get the most auspicious of starts, with train delays early in the day meaning... Read More

Attention Melbourne music fans: read on if you want to experience a Death From Above 1979 reunion show, via Brisbane dance/punk two piece DZ Deathrays (formerly just DZ, but more on that insignificant detail later). “We played our show and then literally ran next door to where Death From Above were playing and the line was massive by then and no one was getting in so we just climbed a fire...
