- Powerplay Magazine

"‘Airwaves’ is built on layer upon layer of wild effects and counter-melodies, working harmoniously to create a piece you can truly drift away in. The mystery of the track simply expands with each listen, discovering new instrumental lines, additional vocals or contrasting sounds every single play.  ‘Airwaves’ jolts between its floaty verses and heavy choruses unbelievably smoothly, tying the whole song together flawlessly."

"Everybody states The Doors as an influence these days but no one, since Patti Smith and Iggy Pop, has quite captured the raw edge that the band had live. But Deepshade really deliver.

“The vocals and lyrical phrasing on the song and the whole album are very reminiscent of Ozzy Osbourne (Black Sabbath), Jack Bruce (Cream) and Jim Morrison (The Doors) and his guitar work throughout is 70s Psych/Blues Rock at its best.  But as a band, musically it's something new.”

“Everything Popular Is Wrong is a great, gritty album that takes classic rock and grunge sounds you're familiar with and elevates them to new dizzying heights”

“Boasting ten colossal tracks, the album has some stellar highlights, from the opening snaring riff attack of ‘Time’, to the Nirvana/QOTSA-esque guile of ‘Lowlights’, through to the infectious angular assault of ‘Sad Sun’.”

"For a debut album Everything Popular Is Wrong has a very mature sound, taking influence from well known bands but making something new and interesting from it. With such a unique sound it’s sure to make Deepshade stand out in the ever rising tide of new alternative rock bands."

"Deepshade bring a solidified alternative/grunge rock sound from Wigan, England. This trio blend an impressive full dosage of hard rock music thunder. With a terrific fueling energy, rock n’ roll attitude might and a ‘loud & proud’ music atmosphere, I feel they got the rock goods talent in having a chance to accomplishing very promising paths on their roaring roads ahead. This was an impressive, full-throttle listen, definitely was feeling it!"

There’s a tense atmosphere surrounding Wigan’s alternative-rock band Deepshade’s first single ‘Tattoo’, out now on Ambicon Records and available as a free download. Whether it’s the abrupt rhythmic pattern of this debut single, or not quite knowing where you are due to lead vocalist’s David Rybka’s dry delivery, or a combination of both is anybody’s guess in relation to the creeping tension held in this opening single. One thing for certain is that Deepshade has created an engaging first single that is likely to appeal to fans of QOTSA, Interpol, Beck and Nirvana for example.
