DZ Deathrays

Overview

These boys from Brisbane are bringing their slash rock to Oxford Art Factory this weekend as they tour their newly released second album, Black Rat. If you were all about the heavy crashes found on their debut album, Bloodstreams, then you won't be disappointed with the new material. The latest single, 'Gina Works At Hearts', has plenty of that raw energy fans have come to know them by.

Having said that, Black Rat was recorded in a more experimental manner with Drones' producer Burke Reid, and the results aren't your average balls to the wall ragers. First single 'Northern Lights' is proof that this band has bigger ideas, experimenting with a textured, more anthemic style of rock. Because of this new approach and sound, Simon and Shane will be joined by special guest guitarists during their national tour. But who will it be? You'd better get along and find out.
