BAND WE LIKE: CRUSHED ((L.A. Britpop trip hop))
((DD/MM/YYYY)) Band Profile and Upcoming Chicago Concerts - Oh My Rockness
DD/MM/YYYY
Toronto's DD/MM/YYYY (Day Month Year) are a quartet of energetic dudes that rock fun, lo-fi art-gadget noise similar to their stage-sharing buddies Dan Deacon, Videohippos and Team Robespierre. You'll find lots of glitchy and synthy spazz-outs, tempo-shifting guitar weird-outs, and vocals shouted-out in unison.
There is definitely a D.I.Y. aesthetic that pervades this bands sound (and this gadget-rock genre in general). It's all kind of like, "We're so into partying with you on the floor of your illegal venue space that we don't really need to worry about technique too much!" And Day Month Year pulls it off, because this is indeed a good time. How can you not have fun to silly and scattered songs like "Mr. T Cereal" and "Gentle Dudes with Muscles." These guys tour all the time, so they'll just be getting better and trying to sound worse.
