Deathday

The savage noise of neo post-punk is a beast seldom tamed, but Los Angeles’ Deathday, a quartet centered around brothers Alex Guillen (drum machine, synth) and Giovanni Guillen (vocals, synth, guitar), has done so. Never has the post-punk revival seemed as urgent as with Deathday, who match their guitar driven dirges with esoteric industrial soundscapes and tape manipulation. Their music is often as bleak as it is violent, with low-end cacophony bludgeoning the listener into submission.
