DZ Deathrays are a thrash-pop duo hailing from Brisbane, Australia. Fronted by Shane Parsons (guitar/vocals) and Simon Ridley (drums), the two have been blowing away audiences with their indefinable brand of rip-roaring, gut-wrenching alternative-pop-punk-rock-thrash!

Debut album 'Bloodstreams' was released in 2012 to critical acclaim from Pitchfork and NME and the praise keeps on coming. Second album 'Black Rat' - a thunder of pitch-shifted guitars, squalling riffs and crashing drums - is released on 18th August 2014 on Infectious Music and the band's new offerings have been lauded the Guardian, Clash, Kerrang, Stereogum, Spin, Noisey and many more. It's probably best summed up by Pitchfork - "more than worth going deaf to" !
