DMA'S are an Australian three-piece rock band formed in 2012 in Sydney. The band is composed of Tommy O'Dell, Matt Mason, and Johnny Took.[1] They gained popularity for their debut single "Delete" and for their self-titled EP released in 2014.[2] Their musical sound has led to comparisons to the bands Oasis and The Stone Roses.[3]

In early 2016, the band released a full-length album titled Hills End.[1] It peaked at number 8 on the ARIA Albums Chart upon release in March 2016.[4] In April 2016 they appeared on the cover of Australian magazine, Happy Mag.[5] Their song "Play it Out" features as one of the songs on FIFA 17, the EA Sports video game.[6]

The band's cover of Cher's "Believe" was voted in at number 6 on Triple J's Hottest 100 2016 list.[7] The video has received over 8.6 million views on YouTube[8] and became the first Like a Version cover to ever rank this highly in the Hottest 100.

In November 2019, the band supported Liam Gallagher on his UK and Ireland tour.[9]

On 31 January 2020, the band released "Life Is a Game of Changing", the second single from their forthcoming third studio album, The Glow.[10]
