Channeling the spirit and grit of 70s rock is the renowned band The Dead Daisies, back and better than ever with a new speaker-sparking single titled "Light 'Em Up."
The band has been tearing it up since its formation. Their energetic approach to music lives through themes of revival, the Mexican 'Day of the Dead,' and Jon Stevens' phrase 'pushing up daisies,' contributing to their name. With impressive musicians like David Lowy, Doug Aldrich, Glenn Hughes, and John Corabi over the years, there's no telling where The Dead Daisies will go next.
Well, we've got one hint. The band is gearing up for the Light 'Em Up Tour across the US, UK, and Europe to promote their upcoming album of the same name. With the album's title track and lead single, "Light 'Em Up," The Dead Daisies are showcasing the explosive energy that landed them a loyal fanbase in the first place.
Hitting play on "Light 'Em Up," we're slapped with heavy electric guitar riffs reminiscent of acts like Van Halen or Guns N' Roses. With their explosive energy and raspy vocals, The Dead Daisies smack the speakers with one of the most anthemic tunes we've heard this year. It perfectly captures the era of 70s rock music in its prime, lighting a fire that leads us straight to the dancefloor.
The song's music video is another fiery experience. While the song packs all the vocal and instrumental energy, it's perfectly portrayed in the exhilarating music video, loaded with skulls and flames. These were meant to symbolize one thing: the band's fierce dedication to keeping rock's rebellious spirit alive. With powerhouse songs like this, they're doing a damn good job.
