stream Deaf Wish's first album for Sub Pop, 'Pain'
by Bill Pearis
Australian band Deaf Wish release their first album for Sub Pop, Pain, next week (8/7) but are streaming the whole thing right now via SPIN. While they live up to their name — the band’s show last year at Death by Audio was one of the loudest shows I’d ever seen there — it’s not all tinnitus-inducing. There are multiple singers/songwriters in the band and some of it is on the pretty side, and some of it is more like Sonic Youth, Cosmic Psychos and METZ in a head-on collision. It’s all pretty good. Stream the whole thing below.
