Deadheads To Release Their Second Album “Loadead” In October 2015
Swedish rockers Deadheads will release their second studio album titled “Loadead” on October 30, 2015, on High Roller Records.
You had to look very hard for a bad review of “This Is Deadheads First Album (It Includes Electric Guitars)”, released on High Roller Records earlier this year. Metal Hammer, Rock Hard, Rocks, Classic Rock – they all loved the Deadheads’ own brand of “Boogie Punk” (that’s how the band describe their own sound). Guitarist and singer Manne Olander finds a simple explanation for the Deadheads being everybody’s darling at the moment: “People that really enjoy and understand good music always find something they like in different kinds of musical genres. Good music is good music. We just play rock ‘n’ roll“.
According to Manne Olander, the mode of production shaped the way the record turned out quite considerably: “We recorded “Loadead” live in the studio, with all musicians playing their respective instruments together in one room. Nobody was wearing any headphones. That really gave the whole album the right vibe. We work hard on the songwriting to get the songs and the sound we like“.
With tracks like the fuzzed up “There’s A Hole In The Sky”, the more laid-back “Empty Howls” (with shades of early Fleetwood Mac) and “Let Loose The Fool”, proto punk in the vein of The Dead Boys, Dictators, Johnny Thunders and New York Dolls, “Loadead” has an even broader scope, a wider appeal than the Deadheads’ first album.
