THE DEADLY SYNDROME play sharp and witty pop music "with the mania of meth-heads". Their debut record, The Ortolan, finds the Los Angeles-based group playing energetic and hooky pop with a stylistic approach similar to that of BLOC PARTY, MODEST MOUSE and WOLF PARADE. We hear their live shows do not disappoint, so this is not to be missed. Supporting their new Dim Mak EP Between the Devil and the Sea, OH NO! OH MY! play second here. Coming off the success of this phenomenally catchy debut record, the Austin-based group plays angular, infectiously upbeat pop "with enough quirk and intrigue layered on top to keep it highly compelling".
