Band: ALREADY DEAD
Who: Over the past three, very loud years, AD have often been described as a “sampler platter of punk.” The Massachusetts band has dabbled in various strains of the genre, all while brashly tackling a spectrum of social issues and human causes, since first crashing the scene in 2022.
From ska-punk, activist folk, and hip-hop crossovers to rallying for workers’ rights and calling out the absurd cost of living, the constantly evolving project has continued to embrace the unexpected – and take a sledgehammer to expectations.
So far, they have released 2 albums.
My Collar Is Blue (2022) and
Something Like A War (2024).
NEW EP: I THINK IT’S TIME TO LEAVE…
Dan Cummings (frontman): “These were the first batch of songs we had after
‘Something Like a War’ and we were really happy with them. All five felt pretty
cohesive together, and it’s five songs in 10 minutes. All killer, no bullshit. It felt
like the right move after the long process of making an album.”
TUTV: Holy smoke! Punk rock is already dead? Go away, or rather stay and hear/experience why you’re fully wrong. Massachusetts’ blustering pit bulls’
new EP is one you can split concrete with. It’s a riot-punk-gun explosion of
supersonic steamrollers.
They rush and race through five burning Molotov cocktails, five riff-insane hellraisers,
five wild-and-woolly knockouts. Except for closing track Nothing Wrong all songs have a Ramones playtime. All in all a sonic blitzkrieg with 5 crushing torpedos in 10 minutes and 44 seconds. If you think it’s time to leave, you’re wrong again. It’s time to pogo yourself
into oblivion. Right here and now. Gabba gabba hey.
