"Dead Sea Souls New Wave-y, down-tempo musical style contrasted with lead singer Michael Raphael's writhing, contorting stage presence. The band itself has a clear Bauhaus feel, with lead guitarist Josh Young's guitar work strongly reminiscent of The Cure. As with any live show, the vocals were difficult to fully grasp but the onstage performance by Raphael more than made up for it. Raphael's vocals shot out of his lungs like a cannon as he deformed, distorted and warped his frame into odd angles. Periodically looking more like an exorcism than a musical set, the singer's affecting display of emotion was punctuated between songs by a goofy grin and silly banter with the audience. The emotional connection to the audience that goes above and beyond the songs themselves is the fundamental staple of every great performer, and the Dead Sea Souls are well worth a visit." - Texasgigs.com
