DZ DEATHRAYS RELEASE
DELUXE VERSION OF
POSITIVE RISING: PART 2
WITH NEW SINGLE
‘SAY IT TO MY FACE’
DZ Deathrays – the band that never sleeps, have gone ahead and made a deluxe version of their acclaimed fifth studio album Positive Rising: Part 2, which I OH YOU are pleased to be releasing today. Along with the 11 original tracks, Positive Rising: Part 2 (Deluxe)features brand new scorching single ‘Say It To My Face’, an acoustic version of their huge single ‘Fired Up’ and two remixes of ‘Make Yourself Mad’ and ‘Skeleton Key’.
“We are really excited to have the opportunity to re-release this album with some added remixes, acoustic versions, a brand new single and a variation on the digital art all before we finally get the chance to get back on the road and play these songs live.” – Shane Parsons, DZ Deathrays
‘Say It To My Face’ is a mosh pit waiting to happen, a loud and punchy DZ offering that is best consumed at full volume.
“We wrote ‘Say It To My Face’ in the lead up to our next album but really felt like it belonged alongside tracks like ‘Still No Change’ and ‘Golden Retriever’ so it was the perfect addition to the deluxe version of PRPT.2. It’s an indie punk track with snarl but an underlying tone of love and acceptance.”
