Rating: ecstatic This record left Teex Sabga Browne feeling ecstatic.

What can i say "they're everything you could hope for in a band as scuzzy as the gutter, as epic as the stars"!!!! Saw them at their launch nite last tuesday and they rocked. theyve got passion, energy and just that little something different. This tune needs more airplay. its an anthem in the making.

What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Ant feeling happy.

Man, I just had to scoff that cheese. So much for deferred gratification. I have no will power... and onto indie new wavers Dega Breaks with their 'Wake Up/Bedroom Divas' 7" on Back Yard. They compare themselves to Blondie, The Cure, Depeche Mode and Whitey. I can hear elements of all those bands and although the synth pop element is used very sparingly it adds a melancholy element to the track. Polished, radio friendly gear but it does sound passionate. It's nice to read they share my fondness of Guinness. I can imagine these being quite popular.

What the label says:

A1: Wake Up – LISTEN
B1: Bedroom Divas
 
Dega Breaks are the latest signing to Back Yard Recordings, possibly the hottest indie label in the UK right now following the phenomenal success of Gossip and rising electro funk stars Chromeo.
 
·          This West London quartet are ready to inject some magic back into the indie music scene with their blend of black and white disco punk, ruthlessly fast methed-up beats, confident hooks and lo-fi synths.
·          For the band and lead singer Dom Otero Dega Breaks is about “Rebelling against the established mediocrity of the current sub-libertines consensus and off-the-peg indie.”
·          If this is the case then Wake Up and Bedroom Divas is a rousing call to arms aimed at weekend hedonism, lack of aspiration and the cult of celebrity.
·          The single will be available on strictly limited edition 7” Vinyl

About the humble 7":

The humble 7" is the smallest of the vinyl formats (not including the ridiculous 5") and it's the perfect medium for transporting a couple of new songs by up and coming bands straight into your ears. They're fun and they take up less space in your house than something bigger would. They come in a plethora of exciting colours and fantastical packages, and you can fit about 14 minutes onto one 7". You may have to get up every few minutes to put a new record on but think of the exercise. Don't forget every record you buy plays at least 2 speeds (depending on your stereo) and you need to play all records on all speeds to get the maximum joy from your purchase.
