DMA’s are three Sydney lads who sound as British as nobody’s business. With a band name that apparently doesn’t mean anything, Johnny Took (songwriting/guitar), Tommy O’Dell (vocals) and Matt Mason (guitar) were “just hanging out and writing songs” in Took’s bedroom before taking over the world in a heartbeat.

The Sydney trio’s fourth album ‘How Many Dreams?’ is the latest outing of a sound imbued with charm and reverence, one that is, the band say, the best distillation of what they set out to do in the first place. The band have likened it to their debut, remarking that the wide-eyed approach of ‘Hills End’ has been resurrected, such is their comfort and confidence at their place in the scene.

In terms of lyrics, DMA’s can’t come close to Morrissey, of course. They probably can’t even match Gallagher, and if the band are going to grow, this is where they should start. They get in the odd catchy phrase, but mostly they are impressionistic at best, and not every song can be “Delete”. Delete” is only one of 12 songs on Hills End, with just one other carry over from the EP. All of those songs are quality stuff, all good and many great. The band have said they spent a couple years writing before they even played a gig, and it shows. This is an album of singles, where you are excited to get to know each of the songs and then, once you do, to listen to them again. The overall construction is pretty consistent, with Johnny Took’s rich acoustic guitar and a better-than-average rhythm section laying down a foundation for Mason’s bright, effects-heavy riffs and O’Dell’s confident, distinctive voice to cut through. Hills End was only partially recorded in a studio, the most important parts were done in Johnny Took’s (guitar) flat in Sidney, who is also the album’s main producer and songwriter. In February 2016, the band released a full-length album titled Hills End. [6] It peaked at number 8 on the ARIA Albums Chart upon release in March 2016. [7] In April 2016 they appeared on the cover of Australian magazine, Happy Mag. [8] Their song "Play It Out" features as one of the songs on FIFA 17, the EA Sports video game.
