EXCLUSIVE: Sydney’s DMA’s Sign To I Oh You

Trio's debut EP out March

Relatively unknown Sydney trio DMA's have signed to the I Oh You label, with the Mushroom Group imprint set to announce the acquisition this morning.

Despite never having played a show or 'properly' released a track, the band have inked a deal and will release their first EP – which will be self-titled – through I Oh You this March. This first taste from that is a track called Delete, a nostalgic largely acoustic number that showcases glimpses of their '90s Britpop influences.

Made up of Tommy O', Matt Mason and Johnny Took the Newtown-based band join the likes of Violent Soho, DZ Deathrays, Snakadaktal and City Calm Down on the I Oh You roster. The label is run by Johann Ponniah.

Formerly known as Dirty Ma's, when they released a track called Play It Out last year, the DMA's EP was recorded in the guitarist Johnny Took's bedroom and will be released Friday 28 March.

They are managed by Leon Rogovoy at Falcona.
