Imagine the raw energy of early Therapy? and the industrial snarl of Pitchshifter aligned to the passionate fire of Reuben with the virulent melodic seduction of Queens of The Stone Age, and you get a keen idea of the explosive thrust and creative tenacity to the contagious sound of UK rockers DeadAudioSaints. Theirs is an aggressive yet warmly anthemic incitement which across debut EP The Purge, leaves you feeling like the prey to their musical intent and focus of their inventive persuasion.
Formed last year, the trio consists of the brothers Danny (vocals/ synth) and Corey Jones (bass/guitars /synth) with childhood friend Tyla-Joe Connett (bass/programming). Their most potent inspirations the band lists as 30 Seconds to Mars, Placebo, Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie, and Queens of The Stone Age though to be honest apart from the last they are very low whispers in a sound which is not sculpting new templates to follow but definitely providing a fresh and striking not forgetting distinct voice to British rock music. Their first grab at nationwide appetites has been recorded with Matt Eliss (Skarlett Riot, Black Spiders) and The Purge EP swiftly sets out all the reasoning to make DeadAudioSaints a band to pay close attention to now and ahead.
The release opens with current single and title track, from its first breath a song which scorches the senses and incites the instinctive rocker in us all. A sonic tease turns into a simmering wail across a predatory bassline and matching 
rhythms, their instant stride n imposing waking call to the imagination. The song is soon a blaze of hungry riffs and antagonistically appealing vocals caged by the increasingly potent rhythmic provocation. With senses binding grooves and an industrial metal swagger, the terrific track is an incendiary brawl of sound and bounding enterprise which leaves you only wanting more.
It is followed by Tear Apart which also makes a dramatic entrance with rigorously strolling riffs, a flavour of early Marilyn Manson unmistakable, and equally rugged beats crowding ears with muscle and intensity. It is not a savage demand though with another dose of infectious hooks and grooves playing with the passions whilst the vocals of Danny and band add to the irresistible invitation of the imaginative track. Less urgent than its predecessor, the song still unleashes a hefty weight and pace to its enticement to ignite body and emotions.
The Game is a darker encounter, its emotion and presentation shadowed to reveal another creative landscape in the band’s sound. The song almost stalks ears and thoughts, its intensive emotive narrative matched by the raw and dark tones crafted by bass and guitar and coloured provocatively by the dramatic keys. It is a slow burner compared to the previous tracks but a song which still captures the emotions without reserve if with a less lingering bait than the other exploits of the EP.
There is a great caustic air to the next up Don’t Like You, a fusion of punk voracity bringing a stronger roar to the stirring and addictive contagion of its romp. The bass finds a delicious growl to its tempting whilst the rhythms again charge with strenuously flexing sinews. It is a brute of a song, guitars and vocals flaring with creative endeavour and passionate energy, everything combining for an addictive proposition, though straight away shaded by the closing rampage of Taking Control. If the last was a brute then the closer is a carnivorous beast, bass and drums again laying down a seriously compelling and voracious canvas upon which a weave of Pitchshifter like abrasing and Therapy? bred relentlessness erupts in a fire of creative toxicity. It is a scintillating tempest of sound and energy, a torrent of invention which ebbs and flows in its assault yet never relinquishing the strength of its melodic enticing and giving it moments to uncage a venomous brilliance. Electro rock, punk, hard rock, and alternative metal all rolled up into one, the track is a severely gripping storm and the pinnacle of the EP whilst with the title track impressively bookending an explosively thrilling release.
Raw in all the right places and elegantly creative throughout, The Purge is a maelstrom of sound and ideation which suggests that DeadAudioSaints has a very healthy and rewarding future; certainly our ears and hearts will on the evidence of their debut.
