For Now – DMA’S

An indie trio from Sydney, Australia that throws back to the Manchester scene of the early ’90s, DMA’s came together around 2012 when Johnny Took and Tommy O’Dell — members of the local rock band Underlights — started writing songs with guitarist Matt Mason. Working together as three songwriters, the trio quickly developed a sound that drew from early-’90s Manchurian indie rock, with particular likenesses to some of the scene’s greats like Oasis, Primal Scream, and Happy Mondays. DMA’s quickly signed to the tiny label I Oh You on the strength of their home-recorded demos, and before long their debut single, “Delete,” climbed the charts and garnered praise from the press, musical peers, and a growing fan base. Their self-titled debut EP surfaced in the summer of 2014, and in early 2016 they dropped their debut full-length, Hills End. Late 2017 and early 2018 saw the release of the singles “Dawning,” “In the Air,” and “For Now” ahead of the arrival of their sophomore full-length effort, also titled For Now, later that April. ~ Fred Thomas
