Our Take

DEAD RIDER's latest offering, "Crew Licks," is a mind-bending journey through the depths of avant-garde rock. With their signature blend of experimental soundscapes and off-kilter rhythms, this Chicago-based outfit proves once again why they are a force to be reckoned with in the indie music scene.

From the opening track "Death Surf A52" to the hypnotic closer "Funky Janky," DEAD RIDER takes listeners on a rollercoaster ride of musical delights. The album is a sonic mishmash of genres, blending elements of noise rock, psychedelia, and post-punk into a tantalising musical stew that defies categorisation.

Vocalist Todd Rittmann's haunting croons and twisted guitar riffs are a highlight throughout the album, showcasing his versatility and undeniable charisma as a frontman. The rhythm section, comprised of Andrea Faught on bass and Matt Espy on drums, provides a solid foundation for the band's sonic experimentation.

Standout tracks include the infectious "The Ideal" with its infectious groove and catchy hooks, as well as the brooding ballad "They Took Me In Again" which showcases the band's softer, introspective side. "Crew Licks" is a testament to DEAD RIDER's creativity and unapologetic approach to making music that pushes boundaries and challenges listeners' expectations.

Overall, "Crew Licks" is a wild ride that will leave you both exhilarated and perplexed. DEAD RIDER have once again proven why they are one of the most exciting and innovative bands in the music industry today. Strap in, dear readers, and prepare to be taken on a musical journey like no other.
