Comparisons with The Prodigy, The Streets and Johnny Rotten have been made...
But not by us...
DSS are not really trying to be a live DnB band as such, weve always just played what ever we are into at the time!
Just so happens that most of the time we're into extremely nasty basslines and beats!.. whats your excuse?
We dont use any sequencers or backing tracks and we play only the finest hand crafted instruments imported from grandma pegs backyard
HELP GET DEADSILENCE PLAYED ON XFM!!
All you need to do is go to www.xfmuploaded.co.uk and listen to our tunes as many times as you can bare... The most listened to tracks get played on the radio...
all the other bands on there seem to be the usual arslick monkeys, kleen, kiyzer gays wanna bee's... so lets see if we can get something a bit different in the concience of these bloody tight jean wearing indie saddo's by getting the good old DS band infecting their mind!!!
here's some nasty gossip about us:
'Blistering, eardrum-perforating Drum 'n' Bass thrashed on real live instruments by a band who make Red Snapper sound like Craig David by comparison. Bass-heavy, brooding, bombastic and raw as botulism'
- www.dogsonacid.com
Crashing genres together, tightening the all-live musical fury and opening minds wherever they go

This deadstupid lot are without doubt the nicest chaps Ive ever met!

DSS thrashing a guirilla gig outside waterloo station, NYE 2003... we pulled up in a van full of instruments, generator and speakers and went for it!.. we lasted about 30 minutes before the cops moved in, but we got away with it!
this footage was filmed secretly on a phone and had to be smuggled out of the city in a hamster!
