Deleted Scenes is one of those bands that I kept hearing about rather than actually hearing. So I was wonderfully surprised when they turned out to be way better than I was expecting. You know the kind of thing, everyone sings a bands praises and when you get to finally hear them, you end up going “So??? Is that it?” and rush out to buy a copy of the NME and see what terrible things they wrote. But I digress.

Deleted Scenes (DC/Brooklyn) plays propulsive, rhythmic indie rock with wonderful psychedelic arrangements, a great sense of humour and best of all they don’t disappoint.  I kept hitting the repeat button on the MP3 player every time “Mortal Sin” came on.

The best song to start with would be “Fake Id’s“, it starts out with an insistent electric piano , then the vocals (dripping in reverb) kick in and then the band start up and you are away. I love this one, it just builds and builds, the intensity then gives way to a kick drum and a sudden stop.

“So??? Is that it?” I hear you say. Of course not. You press repeat and do it all again. It’s that kind of song.

Highly recommended
