Synopsis
Album Description DEADLINE features what are probably the best female vocals to be found in Punk Rock! It?s hard to find a rival to Liz?s powerfully warm, spine-tingling vocal lines?. Multi layered harmonies, melodies to die for and one hit after another. This is the real deal! DEADLINE exploded onto the London Punk scene in 2001 and haven?t looked back since. They played their first gig less than 4 years ago?Yet so much has happened since! With 4 European tours, 1 American tour, countless UK gigs, 3 full length albums released worldwide, 2 singles, 2 split albums and numerous contributions to various compilations under their belt, they are probably the hardest working band in the scene right now and have achieved more in a few years without any major label support than a lot of bands do in a lifetime. DEADLINE are an experienced live act and they have gained a reputation for their live performances! They have played from small pub backrooms to crowds of thousands, from New York to Pragues, from Marseilles to Berlin, they know the roads like the back of their hands and have gained an established following. DEADLINE have been invited to play with some bigger names on the scene including RANCID, LARS FREDERIKSEN, DROPKICK MURPHYS & THE DISTILLERS to name but a few and swelling numbers at their own headline shows proves they were a hit!

CD ReviewsDeadline becomes a post-op Bad Religion epsteinsmutha | At the bottom of Juan Epstein's excuse note | 06/26/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "If you've not heard of Deadline, here's a basic overview. Members of leftist skinhead (not an oxymoron) groups joined up with a female vocalist whose hair is redder than a Man Utd. jersey, has a different pair of fishnets and miniskirt for every day of the week and a voice that sends chills up the spine of any listener who appreciates fantastic female vocals. Three albums in find Deadline moving more in a 1980s metal (not Winger or Poison. That is not metal.) direction after the punk brashness of their first two platters, More to It and Back for More. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but it was hard not to listen to it and think "This is what Bad Religion would sound like if Greg Graffin got a sex change." I like both bands so I don't know if this would be a problem for anyone except Dr. Graffin's wife and kids. If you appreciate well-played punk with female vocals that aren't one shrill YEEARRRGGHH! then you could do no better than to pick this up. Don't wait until American audiences have ruined them. As they've toured with Rancid, 'tis possible
