“take this as an opportunity to discover that talent that hides within a cage” —Absolute Punk
Deemed by Alternative Press Magazine as one of the 100 bands to watch in 2010—Deas Vail is ready to let their voice be heard with the recent release their Mono vs Stereo debut Birds & Cages out now.
The band will also embark on endless touring this year, just wrapping a sold out 20-city tour with Owl City and looking forward to a spring dates with Copeland and a summer trek on the Vans Warped Tour ‘10
“’Birds & Cages’ is a compilation of the band’s most thoughtful material with a mixture of powerful writing” –Alter The Press
“Can you tell me that the page will turn itself and take us somewhere else?” Wes Blaylock, the Deas Vail frontman sings. The longing sentiment of this simple but open-ended line is at the heart of a dozen songs that take on Everest-sized questions about freedom, love, hope, fear, transformation and just what it means to become a better human being. If that seems like a tall order for a modern rock album, Deas Vail make their soul-searching inquiries sound exhilarating, with swooning choruses, sparkly panoramic arrangements and lyrics that flirt with darkness but ultimately tilt towards optimism.
“If you’re a fan of melodic music and vocals that have more emotion to them than Lifetime network, than you’ll love Deas Vail” –Young, Poor & Angry Press
Deas Vail is: Wes Blaylock – Vocals, Keys, Laura Blaylock – Keys, Synth, Kelsey Harelson – Drums, Andy Moore – Guitar and Justin Froning – Bass.
