MY DEAF AUDIO - ARE THE NEW BLACK - Bivouac Label

EP Review

Former emo rockers bring back the riff.

4/5

Formerly a band that traded in post hardcore/emo songs that, personally,
weren’t that amazing or fun to listen to, MDA disappeared off the face of the
earth after their Lockjaw debut to mass indifference. But now it looks as if
they could be onto something pretty fucking tasty. Stocking up on riffs,
raunch and rock, the ‘…Are The New Black’ EP sees the band sound truly
comfortable weaving their way through a smorgasbord of elastic Cramps-styled
guitar lines, rumbling bass and rockabilly rhythms. ‘Get Out, Right Now’
sounds like Turbonegro with a coating of British steel, while ‘Turn Off The
World’ takes the Hives’ roll out riffery and throws it headfirst into the face
of The (International) Noise Conspiracy. They’ve turned my opinion around and
they could well do the same to yours.
