DSGNS

Next up was DSGNS; a band I’ve covered before in write ups on numerous occasions. Just like I’ve said in previous write ups; this band is one of the most consistent bands doing it in the Austin metal scene today. And their set Friday certainly lived up to the bar they’ve set for themselves and didn’t disappoint in the slightest. When you see DSGNS, you get the best of both worlds when you see them play: a performance with music and a musical performance. These guys don’t just play their music; they perform it with every ounce of their beings. This; along with their expert musicianship and ability to draw everyone in the audience into the show make DSGNS a hard band to ignore when you see them play (as evidence by the pit that opened up at the start of their set). So if you like your metal chaotic, loud and fast; then check these guys out the next time they play and be on the lookout for new music soon. - i hate the scene

DSGNS play hardcore with a definite metal influence.
Vocals are of the face melting variety that leave no doubt
that this band are pissed off.
The songwriting is the strength here - not just blast beats - riffs
twist in and out of chord progressions, giving the ear something
to latch onto amongst the chaotic barrage of aggression being
spewed out. Off-kilter melodic pieces bring structure within
the song passages. DSGNS make very good use of a single
guitar establishing a riff before every instrument comes back
in, heavier than a neutron bomb being dropped on the suburbs.


Although very much in the vein of Norma Jean, these boys have
retained enough of their hardcore sensibility to find their own voice. - Black Insect Laughter
