Death Sells may be Dutch, but like many European punk(ish) bands, the songs are in English. There is one catch: these songs are so chockfulla noise that you might not be able to make out the lyrics.

Death Sells Death Sells EP (self-released)

Count me in.

Wandering somewhere in between the Ex (you knew that reference was coming), the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Girls Against Boys, these songs tend to find a groove and hammer it, even if the singing is more like yelping and the levels are pinned. Once again, see above.

Fans of kinetic noise will immediately gravitate to this, and folks who like to hear a band taking chances within a scrawling, writhing ball of sound should be pleased as well. The six songs here point in many potential musical directions, though I'm hopeful Death Sells takes its time before settling on a consistent feel. I kinda like surfing the chaos.
