My Deaf Audio - My Deaf Audio Are The New Black (Bivouac)

How to describe My Deaf Audio? Imagine Jim Morrison washed up on our shores alive and well, and proceeded to form a killer retro outfit with Jet. Oozing 70's swagger and flair, the Brighton foursome are set to cause even more of a stir than racist mayors.

Having been around on the live scene for a couple of years now, they've managed to secure a concrete reputation as a kick ass band in the flesh, but transferring that to record can and has been the down fall of many young hopefuls before them. However, what sounds at first like yet another stripped down retro band of twangy annoyance, plays out as a symphony of indie punk rock that smacks you across the face.

Turn Off The World is a slice of Clash inspired anger that beats out with a distinct lack of bass, but makes up for the missing low end with some killer sing along moments. We're Convicted is an Epic B-side which sees the angry indie troupe at their most inventive with an impressive (if lyrically bland) vocal track from Andy Reed. There's just enough classic British snarl in there for them to keep their heads above water in the overcrowded pool of garage rock, but they'd better learn how to swim pretty darn quick.
