PRESS:
"Deathline are a female lead duo with a fine line in post artrock rumble that purrs like a new born kitten and shreds your skin like a tiger on speed. Kinda like a 21st century Sonny & Cher having lunch with The Raveonettes served by The Yeah Yeah Yeahs' at Joy Division's greasy spoon cafe."
The Devil Has The Best Tuna
"Seriously unworldly electronica new wave, this is glamour at it's darkest."
On and Offstage
"It was a sad day when London lost original 100mph piked artrockers The Electric Shocks but at least we got two cool new bands out of the split. Kaoru and Jennie pulled together their guitar and bass duties and drafted in a ferocious drum machine to complete the rock'n'roll economy of a power duo. Kaoru's distinctive fuzz-tone guitars now complemented by Jennie's dead-pan noir vocal deliver a garage-punk pop with shades of Jesus and MaryChain, Ravonettes and Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Abrasive energy and tunes, a winning combination."
Artrocker
"Noir Rock with grinding drums that spit out short
sharp burst of venom and a broody as hell bass give
this duo a minimal Jesus and Marychain like vibe. The
sultry and cool as you like vocals from front woman
Jennie come across like a punk-rock Nico. An
amazing combination."
Lee Puddefoot (Artrocker mag / Spoon of Music)
"Female fronted two piece… Yeah Yeah Yeahs territory but darker… Blondie's in there too… simple riffing tunes but with a lot of A1 attitude… some Sonic Youth buzzing artschlock about proceedings too."
London Particular
"There is a long lineage of bands that stretches from the Velvet Underground through Suicide that lingered around the Jesus and Mary Chain, whose music is so dark and primal, it can only be performed from behind the protection of black Ray-bans. Deathline take on the mantle, with fuzz laden guitars and a drum machine programed by Mo Tucker."
