A perfect blend of the very best Black Flag and the very best Fu Manchu.. Mind melting stuff.

Waiting for the debut album from Winnebago Deal has been similar in a way to owning a supermarket at the foot of a steep hill. You know full well that the ram raid is going to come, but the waiting merely exacerbates the tension and impact when the event finally materializes. With sheer instrumental ferocity and terse heartfelt lyrics, Winnebago Deal steal in and take away the inhibitions of the listener, leaving you feeling you can do anything, as life is there for the taking. Dead Gone builds from raw and raucous previous EPs, Plato O Plomo and George Dickel. The inevitable question of whether they can maintain their intensity and interest for a full album is emphatically answered. The title track displays their full instrumental range as they go from wild and pounding to channeled and somberly foot tapping, before picking up the tempo again for a rasping finish. An authentic and full throttle debut album makes Winnebago Deal hard to ignore and an interesting proposal.

We defy you to not enjoy Winnebago Deal, the inimitable hemorrhage-inducing two person arsenal of sludge punk noise from sleepy Oxfordshire. Dead Gone is an orgy of tempestuous and stodgy heavy anthems rasping, dirty and hideously aggressive � like a penniless student that�s just had his week�s allocation of White Lightning nicked by a chav in a cruel prank. Hell, the world could be ending while you listen, and you wouldn�t be able to even hear it so much as crumble. The terrorizing riffage and velocity might cause you to wet your pants. "The Line-Up" is the most corrosive introduction to a record we�ve experienced in 2004 � all set to pulsing guitar lines and a shuddering vocal that fail to halt. What you�ve got here is a 12 song compilation of The Greatest Ever Anthems to Burn a House to Volume 1.
