The Dead Daises - Face I LoveThe Dead Daises – Face I Love

Supergroup The Dead Daises released their self titled debut album back in 2013 and since then they have enjoyed headline UK shows as well as shows supporting the Black Star Riders on a sold out UK as well as a successful run of shows in Australia and America which saw them go out on their own headline shows as well as supporting the likes of Bad Company, Lynyrd Skynrd, Kiss and Def Leppard.

The Dead Daises have recently just released a new 4 track EP titled ‘Face I Love’ and if you thought their debut album was good then be prepared to be blown away by ‘Face I Love’ as for the whole 15minutes duration the EP is filled with musical excellence as the band unleash their classic rock sound with as much energy and passion as possible.

The EP opens with the title track ‘Face I Love’ and from the start everything is massive sounding with huge riffs blasting through the speakers, beautiful keyboard sounds, whilst the vocals from Jon Stevens are so full on, big and loud sounding. and in general the whole band seem to gel together and create one hell of a rocking song which kicks ass from start to finish.

‘Angel In Your Eyes’ is a right bouncy number opening up with some of the best riffs and basslines you have heard in a long time, and as the song progresses the solid vocals from Jon Stevens build up and you start to realise just how big his vocal range is and just what skills he has when he executes his vocals, once the chorus kicks in you won’t be able to resist singing along and for the whole duration of the song I am pretty sure you will find it hard to keep still as there is just so much groove running throughout.

‘Your Karma’ is huge and opens with Jon Stevens screaming his lungs out like hes some rock hero from the late 70’s, the song is fantastic sounding it has a retro feeling but it is also so full on and in your face as the band once again put everything into this with solid guitar solos and Dizzy Reed really showing off his epic keyboard skills.

The EP comes to a close with a cover of the classic Beatles song ‘Helter Skelter’ and it is a fun cover which stays quite true to The Beatles original but also has a nice little Dead Daises spin on it in the way that the song is pretty damn loud and full on.

With their debut album The Dead Daises proved that they were serious musicians and out looking for success and the release of ‘Face I Love’ proves that after so long on the road touring the band have managed to bring their fun energetic vibe to a studio recording and it is quite frankly a great listen which you will find yourself listening to on repeat especially for the fact that the EP only runs for 15minutes and will leave you wanting more of this fast paced classic rock.

4/5
