With a proven track record of playing the pubs and clubs across the UK since 2014 as a covers band called Resurrection, and a fantastic opportunity to play at The Rainbow Bar and Grill – YES THAT ONE- Dead Demons have a solid, well-grounded base to build on.
Despite various line-up changes, my friend Chris Weatherall, the guitarist in the band, didn’t give up, they are alive and kicking and gearing up to invade your airspace. Their sound ticks all the old school Rock ‘n Roll boxes, chunky frets and bass, reminiscent of Dokken, Brainstorm, Armored Saint happily whizzed up nicely in a blender, a smoothie to end all others. Using the influences that we know and love and applying them to the modern Rock era gives a new impression and excitement in music, at 2.41 is that tempo change, slipping into a hard rocking riff that holds the song right the way through to the end. Alongside Chris we have Mark Hale on lead vocals, Pete Harriman on bass and Jon Booth on drums, making an enduring and productive band.
Watch this space as Dead Demons add their weight to the grassroots scene, one of many artists deserving of acknowledgment and attention. Whether your demons be dead or not, make space and time for these ones, a sure-fire way to bolster the power in your engine.
