DMA’S are poised to make a major breakthrough with their third album, which will be released on the 24th April 2020. Last week they shared the first taster of the new album with new song ‘Silver’ and today they’ve announced they will be headlining London’s O2 Academy Brixton on 6th March 2020, their biggest UK headline show to date. Fans can now pre-order the album from the bands store to access pre-sale tickets for the O2 Academy Brixton gig; https://dmasdmas.com
For a limited time, fans can purchase an exclusive bundle that includes a free 7”of current single ‘Silver’. DMA’S will be revealing the album artwork, title and track list to fans in the coming weeks.
DMA’S released their second album ‘For Now’ last year, which achieved their highest UK chart position at #13, boosted by huge ongoing daytime support at radio. An impressive 40,000 tickets were sold on their headline UK tours and their summer touring continued that ascension with main stage sets at Isle of Wight, TRNSMT and Citadel alongside huge outdoor shows with Courteeners and Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds.
New single ‘Silver’ finds DMA’S gift for crafting unifying, arena-ready anthems elevated to new heights. It adds a surfeit of personality and American radio rock influences to their love of the British indie scene, making for a global-facing track rooted in their love of the Stone Roses and The La’s. Frontman Tommy O’Dell’s vocals possess a new found maturity and emotional resonance, delivering an unabashed love song that will surely connect far beyond their devoted fanbase.
‘Silver’ was produced by Scott Horscroft (Empire Of The Sun, Silverchair) at The Grove Studios, mixed by multiple Grammy winner Stuart Price (The Killers, Everything Everything) at Westlake Studios in West Hollywood, where DMA’S and Price continue to work on the rest of the album.
Completed by guitarist Matt Mason and JohnnyTook, DMA’S formed in Sydney and made an immediate impression with their 2014 debut EP. Their full-length debut ‘Hills End’ saw them crash into Australia’s Top 10, before ‘For Now’ cemented them as a force to be reckoned with. The album earned three ARIA Music Award nominations for BestGroup, Best Rock Album and Best Independent Release.
In 2018 they became one of the first Australian bands to play the iconic MTV Unplugged session, following in the footsteps of all-time greats such as Nirvana,Oasis and R.E.M.The performance was captured in this summer’s ‘MTV Unplugged Live’ album.
DMA’S will follow the release of ‘Silver’ by joining Liam Gallagher on the opening seven dates of this month’s huge UK arena tour. They’re mutual friends and fans of each other’s work, with Liam describing ‘For Now’ as “Biblical.”
