This is electro-rock in it's funkiest format ever! Dead Rock Machine really know how to make quirky, tough, edgy, raw electronic pop with just a hint of the underground - enough to make it cool but still keep it accessible.They recently did a remix of Metronomy's 'Heartbreaker' which is how they came to my attention.
Their brand new 6 track EP (rather generous for an EP) continues on the same dancefloor vibe. It's right in the moment in terms of credibility. You will be hearing a lot of music of this ilk in the electro clubs. What really sets theses guys apart from a lot of the mediocre electro acts around right now is that they are a real band and do an awesome live performance.
I love the synths and simplicity of their sound. All I think they are really lacking is some killer vocals. I like the vocals on 'G!!d N!!ws' but they need to take it up a notch. If they get that on board for their next release then they could enter the Justice / Digitalism forum, if not worldwide then certainly in Paris and possibly London. I'm looking forward to seeing them play live next time I'm in Paris!
4/5
