Deaf Club is a savage sound bath dripping with sardonicism: a blastbeat-centric hardcore punk assault channeling crust, thrash, and grind (un)sensibilities. Succinct  pauses, surreal frequencies and effects, breakneck pace and sharply hurled vocals characterize the band’s aesthetic, which  seems as though it is rooted in a sort of nasty-sound-meets-highbrow-message ethos. Fueled by the onslaught of society’s insanity and driven mad by tinnitus, Justin Pearson (The Locust, Dead Cross, Planet B), Brian Amalfitano (ACxDC), Scott Osment (Weak Flesh), Jason Klein (Run With The Hunted), and Tommy Meehan (The Manx, Chum Out!) approach music as an opportunity to confront our collective sicknesses. In 2020, the band released their debut EP, Contemporary Sickness, as well as a Remix cassette EP of bonus remixes featuring GothBoiClique’s YAWNS, Bubblegum Octopus, 304angstroms, and DJ Embryonic Petit Sac. They then released a cover and video of Killing Joke’s “The Wait” as a benefit, along with a slew of other music videos, including a long form performance of their debut LP in its entirety. They  continued with a collaboration with clothing brand Brain Dead to release ultra limited test pressings of their album Productive Disruption, and played a handful of shows in Southern California, including under a bridge in DTLA lit by the spotlight of a police helicopter hovering overhead. In January of 2022, their first full-length was released.
 
BAD SONGS FOREVER was recorded by Alex Estrada at Pale Moon Audio and Tommy Meehan. Mixed and mastered by Brent Asbury. Pressed on limited edition color vinyl, released by Three One G and Sweatband Records. 
 
Album art and design by Paul Rentler.
 
Having just released their debut LP, Productive Disruption, in January of 2022, Deaf Club wasted no time in the relentless pursuit of perfecting sci fi crust punk from the future; the result is their newest EP, BAD SONGS FOREVER. Made up of 3 original tracks as well as a Pixies cover of “Broken Face”— Joey Santiago of Pixies remarked, “Love it! Going to steal that Feedback Pedal Effect” upon hearing it— the band claws and spews its way into a heightened state of controlled chaos, taking time to more deliberately build, layer and pace each track in ways they previously hadn’t. As their shared style comes increasingly into laser-focus with each new song, Deaf Club continues to meld d-beat and thrash sensibilities with unhinged battery acid buzzes, disgruntled rhythms, and tongue in cheek lyrics spit cynical and sharp.
 
Track listing: 
1. If You Eat a Rat, It Might Taste Good
2. But Does It Fart? 
3. Broken Face
4. Ride With Cops, Shoot With Robbers

Just One Fix (Ministry Cover)

So this is one of four songs from an EP that never existed over ten years ago.
considering the cassette tape i edited this from, i'd say it's not too bad:)
lemme know if anyone wants the other two. 
there's alot more music from this session/time, but alot was lost.
so i hope this is enough for posterity. 

Just Like Cards(SmokersDieYounger.EP.2002)

The second of three 2 song EP's from 2002, these songs never had their day. the sound quality isn't as great as the first "just like cards" EP but the next(and last) smokers set will sound better, if lacking the drum and bass work of my dad and jeff strunk,
i believe chris plays guitar on gasoline too.
Hope you enjoy-oceankiddd

hello, this is formally the page of oceankiddd, but I've moved onto a new project, and it's pretty different, so "Mad as Birds" is the new handle. It's dark rock/electro/pop, kinda weird mix of sparklehorse and early clinic, but the songs are really dynamic, and they all have a pretty specific and unique feel.  you can still find my "pay what you want" electronic album "i love you all" download at: https://oceankiddd.bandcamp.com/album/i-3u  
songs here are organized in groups of playlists for now, until the oceankiddd stuff is moved to bandcamp, to make space for the new stuff on this page. thank you so much to everyone who took the time to listen.xo
