Following the release of their debut single ‘No One Knows Your Name‘, The Dead Can Wait are back with their second single ‘Paranoia‘ from their upcoming album ‘In Lumine‘ out October 25th.
The track boasts soaring vocals, punchy riffs, solid guitars and has more hooks than a fisherman! Bringing back the nostalgia of 80’s Classic Rock, infused with modern influences that evolved the genre through recent decades. This is a track that is sure to get your feet tapping with a catchy, feel good chorus that is easy to follow and sing along to. Just what the doctored ordered as we approach the downhill slide into the weekend!
“‘Paranoia‘ is about growing up in todays society and not fitting in anywhere, finding it difficult to trust anyone, and finding it difficult to be who you really are. ” – Ashley Stone, Vocals
Bio:
A legendary town centre music pub in Reading, Berkshire, popular with many local and touring bands was the catalyst for the formation of Classic Rock band The Dead Can Wait. At a reunion of band members and gig goers from The Target in 2016, conversations started between guitarists Steve McLoughlin and Mick Hare about forming a band. From the seeds of an idea, The Dead Can Wait was formed. A couple of changes of vocalist later saw the introduction of Ashley Stone and the band started working on material for their debut album. Tracks were recorded at Outhouse Studios in Reading with production from John Mitchell (Asia, Lonely Robot, It Bites).
Almost as soon as the sessions were finished Covid struck and delayed the completion of the album. The band fell into a period of hibernation and the bass guitarist and drummer decided to leave and follow other opportunities. Move forward to 2024 and while reflecting on the unfinished album, the three remaining band members decided to resurrect the band, find replacements for the rhythm section, and release the record.
A chance conversation between Andy Rowe bass player of melodic rockers The Room (Andy had also been a regular performer at The Target) and Steve McLoughlin instigated a plan to bring Rowe and his band mate Chris York on Drums into a rehearsal studio with the band. The session went well and The Dead Can Wait reformed to finish the album and start playing some live shows.
The debut album is now finished with the first single release planned for September with ‘No One Knows Your Name‘ and the second in early October 2024 with the album released at the end of the same month!
