Deadline – Heading West ‘Produced by Beau Hill’


France is not known to be the country of prime Hard Rock bands…DEADLINE, of Parisian
origin, is the band that intends to make you feel the difference!

The DEADLINERS hit the scene in 2009, after about two years of seeking out the steady
line-up, ready and hard willing to knock down the listener with their blend of modern and
classic hard rock anthems.

The band is composed of guitarist and founder Joris Béraud, guitarist Gabriel Lect, lead
vocalist Arnaud Restoueix, bass player Sébastien Debbane and drummer Nicolas Ballu.

Their sound is shaped by the several and individual influences of each band member,
ranging from the 70’s to last decade’s rock & roll. The guitar work is inspired by the likes
of Slash, Doug Aldrich or even Steve Vai and the vocals are mainly influenced by bluesy
hard rock singers such as Robert Plant and David Coverdale as well as heavier rock
singers like Ronnie James Dio.

In late 2010, US multi-platinum producer Beau Hill gets in touch with DEADLINE through
their MySpace. The band grabs the chance to collaborate with the multi-platinum producer
Who has worked with world-famous bands such as Ratt, Winger, Alice Cooper, Warrant,
or even Europe.

After releasing their first hit single “Dance with Style”, followed by a second single “Heading
West” (both engineered by Beau Hill), the band takes over like a storm on several FM and
Internet Radio shows in Europe and USA.

Their first EP, engineered by Beau Hill, has been released in February 2012 on Sliptrick
Records in its digital format (physical out in April).
