"If you trust the adage about pop culture''s revival cycle working in 20-year intervals, then S.F.-based Death Valley High is a few years early on the next tide of hipsterdom.
Its debut CD, The Similarities of the Loveless and the Undead, pits NIN-style synths against smudgy guitar work right outta — dare we say — grunge. Complicating the picture further, the band also throws in the occasional old-school jungle breakbeat. This reverence for the near past makes sense, though, since singer-guitarist-programmer Rey Osburn headed the outstanding early-''90s industrial band Tinfed."

"After the remains of the acclaimed San Francisco industrial group Tinfed had their breakup in August 2003—Ray Osburn, a true believer of post subgenres and a constant conception of a period of time, found fulfillment. He formed another band called Ghostride, which features members of Will Haven. Together they started Death Valley High. With music carried from the revitalized 80''s and 90''s scene, DVH is Zach Minjack, Jesse Nichols (of The New Strange), Rando, and Ray Osburn. The band has a hardcore trans-like sound with an industrial feedback and a synthesizer admix. The Similarities of the Loveless and the Undead is the first full-length album release from DVH. The album has gothic appeal and variety."
