Light ‘Em Up starts off with a fast tempo and assertive vox. The Dead Daisies are contuing to build out their unique take on 1980s hard rock and hair metal. With sizzling guitar work matched with splashy drums, it’s no surprise that the resulting track will be burying itself deep into the minds and hearts of listeners. The production is skillful here, both keeping the rough-hewn sound of the period while allowing each of the constituent elements of The Dead Daisies time to shine. With guitars building off of Tom Petty and GNR, it’s no surprise that we’re recommending Light ‘Em Up to playlist curators and DJs alike.
We’ve covered The Dead Daisies a number of times over the years including articles about their Slide It In, Radience, Like No Other, Chosen and Justified, and Holy Ground .
