Commencement (2002)

EW's GRADE
D

Details Release Date: May 21, 2002; Lead Performance: Deadsy; Genre: Rock

They dress like satanic preppies, use fake names like P. Exeter Blue 1, and feature vocals by the son of Cher and Gregg Allman (Elijah Blue). So Deadsy have no problem in the media-gawk department. If only they didn't sound like a dying Flock of Seagulls. The fivesome's cheesy '80s new-wave music may explain why it took seven years for a label to release their debut. But at this point, Deadsy sound D.O.A.
