About Me

DEIMOS CDs AVAILABLE at
www.tonevendor.com
Loud. Electronic. Rad. Deimos (DEE-mose) is a huge-sounding drum kit, dirty bass, white-hot electric guitar and a couple of synthesizers hammering and swirling in your skull. Since 2000, Sacramento’s Deimos has grown from a programming-heavy duo to a four-man electronic powerhouse, featuring Ben Steinert on vocals/guitar, Sam Place (China White) on synthesizers, Ryan Garcia (Radio Star) on bass, and Jonah Wells (Furniture on Fire) on drums.Deimos could be the undiscovered band that all of a sudden pops onto the scene with radioplay and eventual MTV support. The scary thing is they did all this on a digital recorder by themselves with a shoestring budget.
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp J-Sin, Smother E-ZineOkay, why isn’t Deimos on a real label? I’m not asking you readers – I’m asking all of you labels out there, because Abort Retry Fail is good, really really good, and probably better than half the albums you’ve issued.
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Sara Bir, Section MFrankly, I’m astonished. The words “kick ass” don’t even begin to describe the songwriting and musical talent here.
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Cynthia E. Jones, RantSmart enough not to fall into the trap of industrial-metal and sensitive enough to look beyond simple three-chord melodies, Deimos creates music marked with beauty and gloomy self-contemplation
