If this was the NME, and I was some
trend setting music journo then I'd be proclaiming that East London's
Rock'n'Roll animals Deadcuts were the best new band of 2014, and the
future of Rock'n'Roll, but it isn't and I aint so....I wont, but what I will say
is that they are the best band I have heard for many a year, and as
for them being the future of Rock'n'Roll.... Well, does Rock'n'Roll
have a future in a world of the bland, sanitised and desensitised? Well yes it does as long as there are bands like Deadcuts out there;
ones that defy categorisation, playing music that challenges and
confronts the senses and takes you to different places. A band that treads its own path through the
debris and broken glass of the past.
Deadcuts play short sharp songs of epic
proportions, full of more hooks than a butchers shop. Gruff gravely
vocals, a twin guitar attack that swoops and soars above a solid
rhythm section before diving and cutting into yer flesh like a rusty
razor. Brutal and beautiful, sexy and sleazy stuff, music to fuck and
get fucked up to. It's what guitars were built for!
Their debut album Dark Is The Night
promises to be something special if the tracks I've heard from it are
anything to go by. There's some Deadcuts gear to watch on
youtube and to listen to on Soundcloud or take a trip to their facebook page.
If this was the NME and I was a trend setting journo I'd also have said that Deadcuts sound like a Punked Up Psychedelic Furs for the 21st Century.
“Live to dance another night and day!”
I totally agree with you! Brilliant band.
