1) (current) The Deal are a Chino, CA based street punk band with rock-n-roll & hardcore tendencies and a spirit-filled message. The band formed at the end of 1998 with a vision to be a first of its kind, as they saw a lack of solid hard-hitting punk bands with moral conviction. Now four years on, the Deal has gone through some major line-up changes but continues to be a uncompromising hardcore punk band.
The Deal have done some extensive touring in the past three years with bands such as Headnoise, Point of Recognition, No Innocent Victim, xDisciplex AD, One 21, Hanover Saints, and Comeback Kid. They also shared the stage with several classic bands like Agnostic Front, the Adicts, DI, TSOL, and UK Subs, as well as newer scene giants such as the Casualties, A Global Threat, Pressure Point, and Death Threat. Keep a eye out for new material from the Deal and expect a rejuvenated sound.
2013 Update: The Deal are about to release their next full length album "Cry Wolf". A follow up to their two singles released in 2011 "She Is The Cage, I Am The Lion" and "Nancy, Don't Fall Asleep"
They are active on Facebook, Instagram and at www.thedealfanpage.com.
Original founding members, Tom Clark (bass), Collin Cuevas (vocals), Derek Wilson (guitar / vocals), are joined with new drummer Dave Edmunds to bring music with high energy, rockin riffs and melodies that get stuck in your head for the rest of the week. Reunited in 2009, after a short US Tour, they quickly entered the studio to create an album packed with songs from their hearts.
Look for them to play shows in your area in 2014.
2) (Past) PowerPop band from Charlottesville Virgina. Formed in 1979 around the trio Haines Fullerton, Mark Roebuck, and Eric Schwartz. The group was heavily inspired by pop icons Big Star. What separates The Deal from other PowerPop bands of the era was their terrible luck. They had high level supporters - Ramones manager Linda Stein, who helped get them signed to Bearsville records. As the EP was being launched Bearsville went under due to a split with parent company Warner Bros.
The Deal went back into the studio. Albert Grossman - head of Bearsville was so impressed with the result, he planned to use The Deal as a large part of his plan to get Bearsville going again - Amazingly, Grossman dies in route flying to see financial backers.
With no record deal and simply playing live for a few years, the band decided to break up. Before they can, they're contacted by Jody Stephens from Memphis' Ardent Studios in another effort to create a record. 'Brave New World' is finished in 1987 - 8 years after the band formed. Few labels were interested in the record even with The Deal being listed in Musician Magazine as one of the top 20 unsigned bands
The Deal briefly tried to sell the record themselves, but limited funds and building disgust with the music industry lead The Deal to complete their plans to disband in 1988. Rumor has it that drummer Mike Clarke just left - leaving his drums in the studio and never came back for them.
24 years after they formed, Not Lame Records releases the compilation 'Goodbye September' finally getting The Deal songs to the public
3) The Deal was also one of the better Belgian hardcore bands. They have split up. Vocalist Bjorn now sings fulltime in the former sideproject Rise And Fall. The Deal played their final show at The Frontline, Ghent.
