They first wowed me in 2009 with their "Treat Me Like Your Mother" video from their debut album "Horehound". A couple of weeks after I saw them live in Mexico City; although I barely new them, and could've gotten killed due to a very energetic mosh pit (a.k.a the mexican concert crowed) it was definitely one of my favorite concerts of the year. I quickly became a fan.
This year however, their second album, "Sea Of Cowards" really took it to a whole new different level. I saw them again this summer in San Diego, again, made it to the top of my concert list. The dead weather has a sounds that no other alternative / rock band can re-create. With guitar solos that will literally blow your mind, and lyrics that are not only intelligent but entertaining ( in a dark / creepy way) in every track, you'd be a "coward" not to like them.
Without further introduction, ladies and gent, I give you the No.1 album of the year.
