Deaf Havana may be new to the US market but they are hardly a new band. Based in the UK, Deaf Havana formed in 2005 while the members were still in college. After two successful UK releases, the band is now ready to make an impact across the pond. Old Souls, produced by the incomparable YOUTH (U2, The Verve, Primal Scream, The Orb) along with Lee Batiuk, will be their third album release overall, but their first official release here after debuting at #1 UK Rock Album (and #9 overall). The Boston Square video got 22,000 plays in the first hour and Zane Lowe of BBC Radio 1 calls it The Hottest Record in the World.
