Sounds Like
A Riotous amalgamation of glam with a huge shot of AOR runnin' through its veins. Built on the foundations laid by the likes of Kiss, Ratt, Dokken, Poison, Warrant and Black N Blue in the eighties, a glorious throwback to a bygone era. To my ears they sound like a combination of Poison and Steevi James era Tigertailz, vocalist Julez Mephisto sounds like Bret Michaels. Buy Or Die people Buy Or Die!!! - Rob Evans, Powerplay Magazine.

The Deadthings - "When Hell Sleazes Over" is exactly the record zombie Crue would make. Pretty awesome cock' n 'roll. 7 / 10 - Classic Rock Magazine - May 2005 Issue 79
The true Glam Slam Kings of Ghoul, with a band like The Dead Things in my mind, I’m not afraid that our beloved Sleaze..n Glam-Music is going to die. 9.5 / 10 Sleaze-Metal.com
The Deadthings - Formed 2002 in the inner city of Melbourne, Australia on the sleazy streets of St.Kilda by Frontman Julez Mephisto and Rhythm Guitarist Leigh Van Hell (Ex Voodoo Lovecats) and completed with Dave Scythe (Lead Guitar), Trixxi Trash (Bass) and Nick Caligula (Drums). The Deadthings tell dark and grim tales of sleaze and heartbreak in their own unique melodic morbid way.
