St. Louis quartet dead7 — Jason Kozik [vocals], Dexter Greer [guitar], Tim Quinn[ guitar], Stephen Salyer [bass], and Zach Guinn [drums] — returned last month with the video for new single “Cannibal.” Watch it here.
Today, the band follows with the second of this two-single drop with “Feels Like.” Watch the visualizer here.
It’s an anthem of self-empowerment and accountability. It opens with a starkly impactful, militaristic beat alongside spoken word-like vocals before erupting like a long-festering volcano.
“‘Feels Like’ goes along with the theme of navigating happiness,” explains Kozak. “It’s a song that defines the struggle a person may face when trying to accept who they are and how to be happy with themselves. It sometimes feels impossible when you’ve been in a negative headspace for so long. When it comes to being happy, the one person that may be holding you back is yourself.”
dead7 temper thick guitar-driven grooves with entrancing electronics, ethereal keys, and evocative vocals. After amassing millions of streams and building buzz independently, the band’s immersive vision underscored their full-length debut LP, “LOVE WHAT YOU CAN WHILE YOU GOT SOMETHING LEFT TO LOVE” [SharpTone Records].
