Bloodstreams

On its debut LP, this punked-up Australian duo makes liberal use of volume and vitriol, but the songs are executed with the impulse that makes you go on the same roller coaster 12 times in a row. DZ Deathrays formed to play house parties, and they say they'll "most likely end at one," too.

A throwback to the golden days of no strings rock and roll.

Bloodstreams is loud. And by loud, I mean noisy. After The White Stripes and Japandroids, you would think one would be desensitized to the idea of so much noise coming from two people.
