dead7 will drop their new album LOVE WHAT YOU CAN WHILE YOU GOT SOMETHING LEFT TO LOVE on July 11 via SharpTone. Pre-order it here.
On the album, the St. Louis, MO quintet — Jason Kozik (vocals), Dexter Greer (guitar), Tim Quinn (guitar), Stephen Salyer (bass), and Zach Guinn (drums) — temper guitar-driven grooves with electronics, atmospheric keys, and evocative vocals. Simultaneously, death and romance become interchangeable, rotating around an axis of relatable emotional turbulence.
dead7 have now dropped the video for PLEASE. The track features a guest appearance from Invent Animate‘s Marcus Vik.
“We were making a joke about being kind of horny, and we tried to encapsulate it,” Kozik says about the song’s interesting origin story. “It’s about the highs of relationships. If you say, Please, you could tell me to do anything. It doesn’t matter, just ask nicely. It has our ridiculously low guitar tones that we love, but it also feels like a pop song. We really wanted to have fun with this one.”
Fun, indeed!
Armed with this boundary-breaking style, dead7 initially rose up out of St. Louis during 2022. Following unwanted and bite it, the group collaborated with Nathan Johnson of Fox Lake on heaven only knows. Meanwhile, tape mouth surged with over 433K Spotify streams, paving the way for the new pain collection EP and all time does is pass and all i do is remember EP. Along the way, they packed headline gigs and graced the bills of festivals such as POINTFEST with Incubus, Bad Omens, Coheed and Cambria, The Pretty Reckless, and more. In late 2024, they caught the attention of Sharptone Records and inked a deal with the label. Hitting the studio, the band reteamed with frequent collaborators and producers Caleb Freihaut and Ben McGuiness to record what would become LOVE WHAT YOU CAN WHILE YOU GOT SOMETHING LEFT TO LOVE. This time around, the guys nodded to inspirations such as Loathe, Bring Me The Horizon, and Three Days Grace.
