From the break up of our previous bands, we found ourselves lost without a musical outlet - to the hesitancy we experienced about whether or not to continue making music - to renting out a storage shed in the middle of winter so that we could write and record demos all while trying to stay warm with a cheap space heater - to returning the space heater so that we could afford rent - to ultimately flying out to Los Angeles to record - which turned into 2 1/2 weeks of all-nighters and early mornings spent in the studio - all for you.

From Otis Taylor, The State (SC): “East or West,” the first song written after the breakup, has a haunting electricity. “Give yourself a hand, ’cause you gave up on this / It was your dying wish, and still you called it quits,” Doyle sings to open the track, her vocals filtered. The song then briefly erupts into a guitar-and-synth-driven dance track before being tempered by a return to Doyle’s impassioned lyrical ode. Another standout is “We’ll Sleep When We’re Dead,” which illustrates the band’s penchant for anthemic and memorable choruses, the kind of stick-in-your-head words and melodies heard on hits. It made me want to start the car and drive.. with the stereo at full blast, which is what I did. This is one of the scene’s most creative and public relations savvy bands in town. Others, before you pick up the phone — and instruments, while I’m at it — you should take note."


From Tug Baker, Free Times (SC): "With both great pitch and poise, Doyle is one of the most promising vocalists in Columbia, and the music is pure pop fun. Death of Paris is planning an album-release party for its debut full-length album for the end of October, so come check out the songs that will soon be filling local Best Of lists."
