Sounds LikeAsking a band to describe its sound must produce worse answers than any other question in the history of questions. That said, um, Jawbreaker?

UPDATE: Upon further consideration, it is possible that we sound nothing like Jawbreaker. Given that, the only possible conclusion we can reach is that we are the most original-sounding band of all time.

   About Dead Mechanical
Hey, our record is out, and we swear it's pretty awesome. It's available on CD from Sex Cells Records and on vinyl soon from Toxic Pop Records. Woo!

Buy the CD from Interpunk

Here's an early review, courtesy of Nuthin' Zine:

Dead Mechanical 5 skulls (out of 5)
Medium Noise Sex Cells Records

This gem hasn't left my cd player since I got it. I keep hearing people making Jawbreaker comparisons, but Dead Mechanical have more in common musically with early Stiff Little Fingers (I can't help but think of "Suspect Device" when I hear that guitar riff in the excellent ironicall-to-arms "Guantanamo Calling") and the like. Jangly, pointy guitar work, rumbling bass, and tight-as-churchshoes drumming blessed by turntaking singers. Lucas Carscadden (guitar) sings on most of the record, and his abrasive yelling-even-when-whispering voice suits the music perfectly. But as much as I like his songs, it's the few sung by drummer Matt Dorsey that I keep repeating once or twice before moving on to the next track. His voice reminds me of early Jazz June singles from back when emo wasn't a store at the mall. You just can't listen to a song like "Messy Apartment" or "Information In" and not be singing the chorus for the rest of the day. Everything about this disc fits...the dirty-loud production, the lyrics, even the artwork. Don't walk, run.
