"Expatriate"

Tuesday, April 12, 2005
Podcast NYC: Podsafe Music - Expatriate
Artist: Dead Language
Title: Expatriate
Album: Writing On Walls

"Jaime Pannone has a sweet voice, but she hits hard with a stripped down sound and incisive lyrics. This cut off of her latest EP, Writing On Walls reflects a no nonsense committment to making honest music with true feeling." - www.podcastnyc.net


"My Backyard"

Saturday, March 19, 2005
Podcast NYC: Podsafe Music - My Backyard
Artist: Dead Language
Title: My Backyard
Album: Writing On Walls

"Jaime Pannone has a voice like Natalie Merchant and an attitude reminiscent of Patti Smith. On this track off the four song EP, Writing On Walls, Jaime and her band kick it raw with gnarly guitars, crashing cymbals and vocals that mean business. The passion in this song is what rock music is all about. You go girrrrl! " - www.podcastnyc.net


"Dead Language"

Dead Language, Writing on Walls (© 2005 Dead Language)

"The first cut on this four-song disc starts off with a streetwise NYC rhythm, so much so that you expect Lou Reed to start barking out vocals any minute... As the song "Expatriate" shuffles along with guitar chords that hang and sustain, a bass-and-drum combination provides a solid backdrop. Pannone half sings, half talks her way through the number, at times with a nasal arrogance, at other times waif-like... Rhythmically, the song locks you in, with a real primal feel. On "Gray Love," the pace slows down considerably. Guitars jangle out chords, working through the changes, while Pannone's voice tells the story on top. Her voice wavers, warbles, and weaves about the notes... but her delivery is highly emotionally charged, and thus the dissonance bolsters the lyrics. Ultimately a mix of urban hipness and emotional delivery, Dead Language offer a sound and a feel that hits the listener in the gut. " - NYRock.com, Bill Ribas

Bio

Jaime Pannone, lead singer and songwriter of Dead Language, is a part of New York City. She walks her streets, sings in her subways, and teaches her students. The interplay of Jaime's life and the city provides the backdrop for Dead Language's material, described on NYrock.com as possessing a "streetwise NYC rhythm, so much so that you expect Lou Reed to start barking out vocals any minute..." Whether exploring the current political climate, injustice, or personal heartbreak, Jaime Pannone's lyrics strive to connect the listener with the wider global community, as befitting a daughter of one of the world's most international cities.

Dead Language formed in 2003 when Jaime Pannone met drummer Doug Pierce, an Ohio native who moved to New York City in 1999. The band recorded a four-song EP Writing on Walls, which featured politically conscious songs heavily influenced by Jaime's experiences in New York post 9-11. Now, Dead Language has released its full-length follow up Interwar, an album that explores more personal themes, albeit still with an undercurrent of New York's thriving culture.

Hailed as a mix of "urban hipness and emotional delivery," Dead Language has performed frequently at venues in New York City and Brooklyn, including Don Hill's, The Pussycat Lounge, Bar 169, Wild Spirits, and of course, CBGB's.
