The Deadly began in 2001 when members of some of Philadelphia's most impressive bands happened to discuss the need for something new in the city of brotherly love. With experience as members of legendary hardcore band Turmoil, they decided to fulfill this need with a new take on danger rock. Thus, The Deadly was born.
Within a few months, The Deadly were holed up at Gradwell House Studios recording their debut EP, "Phantoms In The Frequencies," to be released by Hawthorne Street Records the following year. The album received great reviews comparing the band to a variety of acts such as The Jesus Lizard, Converge, The Nerve Agents, and TSOL. Soon thereafter, other commitments lead to instability in the ranks, leaving guitar player and main songwriter Jonathan Hodges (formerly of Turmoil) and searing vocalist Rich Lippold as the only remaining members. After a regrouping period, Hodges and Lippold called on some friends to stabilize the line up welcoming drummer Jonathan Pushik (formerly of Turmoil, as well as Conviction), guitarist Matt Hanemann (from Metroplex / ex-Sound Of Failure), and bassist Steve Turtso.
Reinvigorated, the band began working on a batch of new songs while playing in and around Philadelphia. After recording some new demos, label interest heightened and The Deadly signed on with Pluto Records in late 2004. Record deal in hand, the band quickly headed into Skylight Studios with Vince Ratti (Hot Cross, Bury Your Dead, Zolof the Rock & Roll Destroyer) to record their debut full-length, "The Wolves Are Here Again", an all out assault on the senses, exhibiting a wide array of stylistic changes from their first release, but still holding tightly to the energy and aggression they had previously developed.
Intense and explosive, The Deadly is turning hardcore punk into the new breed of garage rock...and making it dangerous again.
