It is its very simplicity that makes the Californian duo’s music so direct and so effective

Independent on Sunday
Deliciously distorted vocals, instantly memorable fuzz-up guitar riffs, handclap breakdowns, and vicious put-downs of cheating lovers and sleazebags

God Is In The TV
'Sistrionix’ – a title which seems to sum up Deap Vally perfectly – is ideal cruising round the city in summer with the windows down rock and roll

A duo built around simply hitting the pedal and going, clattering and thundering along, impossible to ignore

With crisp cymbals, heavy guitars and gritty rock ‘n’ roll vocals, this album was meant for a pre-party party

The Scotsman
The artfully conceived primitivism of this debut album pushes some formulaic buttons, but is spiced with a sizeable serving of female empowerment, obsessive ardour and withering scorn
