“In a city dominated by hip-hop and EDM, it’s tough for a band to cut through all the noise — even when it’s rocking out at 11 with buzzing guitars and hard-hitting drumming. Truth is, it takes songwriting chops and an engaging live show to snag the Magic City’s attention, no matter how loud you crank the amps. Duo Sean Wouters and Nicolas Espinosa have hit on the perfect combination of aggression and craft. Wouters, a Miami Beach native, and Espinosa, an Argentine who moved to Miami as a kid, met in elementary school and have spent years finding a musical groove together. Since 2009, they’ve played as Deaf Poets, bringing together garage rock and grunge for an oddly ’90s yet contemporary sound. The pair just wrapped up a small U.S. tour around the South and parts of the Midwest to celebrate the release of their debut full-length, 4150, an album featuring plenty of indie-rock goodness in cuts such as “Can’t Breathe” and “This Pain.” And with smaller indie labels always eying South Florida for the next big thing (see Surfer Blood and Jacuzzi Boys), it’s only a matter of time before someone picks up these guys. This is exactly the kind of racket that’s worth tuning out the DJ.” – Miami New Times, Best Band of 2014
