Edinburgh School For The Deaf live at Limbo (October 2011)
Edinburgh School For The Deaf were formed in 2010. Huddled amongst their are ranks are a cadre of Scottish, English and Polish acolytes of the transformative power of distortion and noise. Their debut album `New Youth Bible` was recorded with Jamie Grier at the legendary Green Door studios in Glasgow and was released in early 2011 on Bubblegum records.
The sound of whistling feed-back is totemic to these savages. They view guitars as instruments of religious communion, as the beacon that will lead their shipwrecked souls ashore to a redemptive beach of noise, saturated with distortion and happiness. The are devoted to the salvation of speaker hum and the distorted sine wave.
‘Intelligent and ambitious, New Youth Bible is the sound of a band firing on all cylinders’ (Ravechild)
‘New Youth Bible is a succinct, targeted blast of a record which establishes them as one of the most exciting bands I’ve heard in a long while… it’s easy to forget there is a brilliant pop record somewhere in here, sometimes hidden behind the walls of feedback and beautifully impenetrable noise you’ll crash through while exploring’ (Songs Heard On Fast Trains)
‘New Youth Bible is thrilling proof that rock music can be exciting and beautiful at the same time’ (Manic Pop Thrills)
