Dead Low – Listen Up!

Audio Epidemic Records

​

Straight out of Cape Cod, Massachusetts comes Dead Low, an all-new – all-American powerhouse featuring members of Revilers, Fast Times and Led To The Grave! Now not too long ago the band debuted with a four-track EP on the recently established label Audio Epidemic Records, so time to finally throw this slab of wax on the turntable and check these guys out!

​

With influences ranging from Oi! to metal, Dead Low delivers some good old, rock ‘n’ roll infused streetrock on their debut 7” “Listen Up!”! Cranking out a mix of fast-paced brawlers and mid-tempo bruisers, it’s actually the latter that has the overhand on this EP. Only title-track “Listen Up!” is a relatively short, fast-paced scorcher, but it will undoubtedly be the reason for a fight or two breaking out at a live show – whenever those are allowed again...

​

Yet it are the remaining three tracks – “Spinning Wheels”, “Battle Cries” and “Bloodlines” – that are my favorites. Especially the latter two, which both happen to be on the B-side of this EP, tear it up from front to back and are served like I how my streetrock ‘n’ roll best – mean, tough and some rip-roaring guitars to top it all off! Love it!

​

Available on either black (200 copies) or limited oxblood vinyl (100) copies, the 7” comes in a fold-out sleeve that features artwork by Andy Fletcher – which is always a good thing. So support new bands, support new labels and check both Dead Low and Audio Epidemic Records out!
