The Deathray Davies with special guest Helium Queens and Buttercup
The Deathray Davies
If you can believe it, 15 years have passed since the garage rock outfit The Deathray Davies have shared any new material. That changes today with the forthcoming release of a brand new album, Time Well Wasted.
The record’s first single, “Then You Met Me,” inspired by the sound of the 60’s British invasion, is available to stream + share everywhere today.
“I quickly wrote 13 songs in a row, realizing right away that they were DRD songs. I sent demos to the band, asking if they wanted to jump back in. Right away, everyone wrote back “HELL YES!” A 15 year nap…suddenly we’re awake.” – John Dufilho
Despite taking over a decade off from the band, each member of The Deathray Davies has been busy creating and performing. The ever-busy John Dufilho continued to create and put out records under his own ever changing rock n’ roll incantations such as the absolute punk rock ripping CLIFFFS, the cinematic 60’s pop tinged Corner Suns, and the indie-folk of Cantina. Not to mention the collaborations and endless touring for both John and lifelong member and drummer, Jason Garner as current members of indie rock luminaries The Apples In Stereo and The Polyphonic Spree.
Let’s just say the members of The Deathray Davies have used this time apart wisely and are ready to return with the aptly titled Time Well Wasted.
"they’re churning out some classic post-punk vibes, only woven together with some ballad-like tendencies." - Austin Town Hall
"Bouncy new single "Oh Stars" is very promising." - Brooklyn Vegan
“From one listen you can hear the band has not missed a step and once again cranks out 60’s style indie power pop without breaking a sweat.” – The Fire Note
“[‘Oh Stars’] charmed us with peaceful, deep vocals, and guitar riffs at times resembling The Arctic Monkeys riffs.” – Open Call Magazine
