Deathcrush

Isn't this the music David Cameron is attempting to ban, lest it whoop disaffected youth up too greatly? Wow. - Everett True, Collapse Board (AUS) Norwegian trio Deathcrush are the day’s greatest thrill, with front women Åse Røyset and Linn Nystadnes channelling Kim Gordon at her nastiest over drummer Andreas Larssen’s Helmet nodding ballast. - NME (UK) That I saw them twice in two days (and then a third time a few days later, back in the UK) says more than enough (...). Deathcrush are more than just violent flicks of head and hair, rumbling basslines, gravelly guitar and warring vocals. They are very close to the embodiment of all that's good with dirty and intoxicating noise-rock. And are really f***ng exciting. - Luke Slater, Drowned in Sound (UK) Two outrageously sexy tigresses with guitars – the coolest band around at this point in time. - Le Monde (FR) Their reverbed, unyielding energy and fuzzed-out psych rock has the audience seduced within seconds. (…) Deathcrush are definitely my new crush. If you get the chance go see them, do it, you won’t know what’s hit you – in a good way! - Linda Aust, ThisisfakeDIY (UK) Deathcrush, the Norwegian trio which is currently considered one of the hottest newcomers in the music world (…) cover the Bangles and love Snoop Dogg. And yet their music is hard as rock. (…) Unlimited noise, unusually consistent - Christian Dittloff, Hamburger Abenblatt (DE) The big blown-off-our-feet experience came (...) from newcomer Oslo trio Deathcrush: An unbelievable mix of Sunn O))) and the Bangles, a laconic pop sensibility combined with the dynamics and overdriven noise of Avant-Metal (...) An example of a conceptual band that is as great in practice as in theory, and that reminds you of something that easily gets lost in the humdrum Youngstorget interaction between artists, audience and the media: The best rock bands are supposed to be cooler than you. - Bernt Erik Pedersen, Dagsavisen (NO) After a 12-month boom, which started in relative obscurity and finished with them becoming one of the Nordic artists to name-drop, they turned the punters of The Lexington into drooling and befuddled converts with just one set. - Ben Hewitt, The Stool Pigeon After eventually getting in to see them, it was obvious what the fuss was about. (...) The buzz around (...) Deathcrush suggests (they) will go international. - Kieron Tyler, The Arts Desk / Mojo (UK) "A headstrong bastard of filthy grooves, hyperactive hardcore, chewing gum pop and gruesome atmosphere. Towards the end the wildcat vocalist jumped into the audience, as if to make the final doubters in the audience surrender. At that point I was beyond won over by this new acquaintance." - Björn Lydén, Soundvenue (DK) "Deathcrush are one of the coolest bands I've ever seen... they have created riot music for the 21st century. (...) Watch out South By South West. You are Tokyo. Deathcrush are Godzilla." John Doran, The Quietus
