Happy New Year. We’re excited to be kicking things off this year with a great new band from our own backyard; The Denzels. We caught up with them this year at CMJ at their showcase at Pianos, were knocked out and hope you will be too.
Still a young group, they’ve been called “a melting pot of all of New York Cities most successful acts.” Their influences range from Brian Wilson and The Cribs, to The Antlers and The Cure. Most of all, they’re influenced by the bands they see each week all over the city. There is a new Brooklyn sound and it’s changing every night. Originally named The Goods, the band began playing around Brooklyn and quickly became known for their energetic live shows. In early 2011 the group changed their name to The Denzels and released the “Slow Death” EP. The songs are a mixture of their surroundings and their upbringing, combining New York style Indie Rock with West Coast beach pop. (The Denzels is: Matt Degorio - Tommy Hinga - Paul Lizarraga - Dave Beegun)
They are releasing their second EP as a free download and are having a release party next week, Wednesday January 11 at Glasslands in Brooklyn. Info Below.
