BIOGRAPHY

Deckard were formed when the three remaining members of Baby Chaos were joined by Gen Mathews (Jesus Jones). The four piece recorded some brilliant demos and were quickly signed by Reprise Records in the USA.

"Dreams Of Dynamite And Divinity delivers punchy innovation and soul"
Q

The band spent six months recording and mixing their debut album in Los Angeles with producer Nic k Launay (Girls Vs. Boys, Silverchair, Semisonic, American Hi-Fi, Nick Cave).

Then president of Reprise, Howie Klein, was crazy about the band and the album and promised it would be a priority release. Chris said “The musical tastes in America were changing and our Beautiful Rock album “Stereodreamscene” was cut adrift amongst such acts as Limp Bizkit and Korn”. Sadly the timing was poor and the frustrated band negotiated their release from the Reprise contract.

"the whole album is decorated with stunningly emotive vocals that in turn soar and bite."

Although after the Reprise deal ended, Chris drifted into a deal with Dreamworks Records as part of an obscure dark pop experiment, he vowed to continue to make music with his friends:

“It is this bond that has kept us together, they are without doubt the most damn decent human beings and I revel in watching there interaction, not only with each other and myself, but with everyone they come into contact with.”

Deckard continued to write a record and after sometime had completed more than enough tracks for a new album. On this occasion it was self recorded and self produced, with Chris using his recording experience to produce a fantastic sounding collection of songs.

The best of these songs were chosen for the album “Dreams of Dynamite and Divinity”, which was self released in early 2004 to wide critical acclaim. Deckard have renewed purpose and will continue to record and release their own brand of beautiful rock.
