Have
you
ever
asked
yourself:
"Why
don't
I
ever
hear
the
Deadly
Snakes
on
the
radio?"
If
not,
then
have
you
ever
asked
yourself
"Where
can
I
go
to
hear
a
band
called
the
Deadly
Snakes?"

streaming
audio,

'lop

It
is
sweet
relief
to
the
crap
being
played
to
death
on
the
radio.
And
exactly
who
are
the
Deadly
Snakes?
They
are
a
bitchin'
rhythm
and
blues
rock
n'
roll
band
that
was
born
in
a
basement
in
Toronto,
Ontario.

their
hottest
single

the
New

website.

Records
And
now
for
something
completely
different!
If
Damageplan
is
the
David
Haselhoff
of
the
music
world
attempting
to
avoid
obscurity
by
doing
the
same
old
thing
over
and
over
again,
then
Grandaddy
is
the
lovelorn
Stephen
Hawking,
part
fragile
humanity,
part
machine
and
all
brilliant.

OnTtheir
fourth"
full-length
album
'Grandaddy
create
warm,
bleeping
sound-scapes
that
envelop
the
listener
and
offer
i
various
vintages
of
small
epiphanies
that
-occur
in:
everyday
life.
Often
in
the
past
-the
band
has
been
compared
to
disbanded
indie-rock
titans
Pavement,
but
on
Sumday,
Grandaddy
have
evolved
into
a
band
that
is
more
akin
to
The
Flaming
Lips.
However,
unlike
the
Lips,
bandleader
Jason
Lytle
doesn't
allow
his
compositions
to
become
overwhelmed
by
computerized
bleeps
and
bloops;
instead
the
production
serves
as
accompaniment
to
his
introspective
lyrics
and
music.
The
album
weaves
several
small
tales
and
the
reoccur-
ring
theme
of
the
album
seems
to
be
how
humankind
has
lost
touch
with
what
nature
can
add
to
our
lives.
Yet
Lytle
never,
preaches
his
views,fhetjnstead

In
addition
to
the
music
JtheJCD
comes;
enhanced
with
three
of
the
band's
music
videos
that
really
havejo
be
seen
to
be
believed.
In
the
video
for
'The
Crystal
Lake"
(a
track
that-is
on
their
previous
album)
the
band
files
around
the
world
in
what
appears
to
be
a
run-down
outhouse,
watch
obese
people
jog
and
cabbies
beat
on
each
other,
and
then
rock
out
with
a
black
bear
while
the
drummer
beats
on
pots
and
pans...
I
know
it
sounds
like
I've
been
puffin'
on
the
wacky-tobaccy
but
trust
rne
J
the
video
is
hilarious.
If
you
like
the
music
of
The
Flaming
Lips
or
Pavement
I
highly
recommend
thisalbum.
