Deaf Havana

Norfolk rock outfit Deaf Havana debuted in 2005 with a sound that combined post-hardcore with anthemic pop-punk, akin to contemporaries like We Are the Ocean, the Blackout, and Young Guns. Later, their sound changed somewhat drastically, echoing the hard rock anthems of acts like Daughtry, Shinedown, and Lifehouse.

Straightforward, earnest rock music seems to be a contradiction from the path popular music has strayed as of late. The need for genuine lyrics, purposeful direction and accessible melodies has been long overdue. The Dangerous Summer have crafted a throwback to the days when music was charged with hope and contained a much-needed brand of sincerity.
