Dead Poets break the walls down


‘Break The Walls’ is the first edition of records to come from Plymouth-based band Dead Poets. Right from the very beginning, Dead Poets show off their amazing individual talents, which are gelled solidly together, producing incredible sounds that are certified to gain a positive response.


“Passing The Buck” is a great way to introduce ’Break the Walls’ as the guitar and drums interlock one another to make it feel the band have expanded their musical knowledge and horizons of future success. “Revolution of Revolting”, displays Danny Brooks’ ability to both scream and cleanly vocalise lyrics; this in itself shows how quickly and efficiently he can adapt his voice to different elements within their songs. Additional tracks including “One Last Stand”, “That Loaded Question” and “How Should I Put This?” all have similar soundings however,  are diverse in certain ways such as different heaviness of bass, pace and interchange of chords played; for example the bass lines throughout the EP are heavy and ear splitting, which when heard live is blatant proof of how well these guys are already doing...it’s only their EP.

Throughout ‘Break The Walls’, Olly Reed, James Corby and Mark Hoynes exert such passion that soon formulates a continued series of  brilliantly composed instrumental of clean riffs and hair raising beats, furthermore, when establishing vocals by Danny, it adds that little touch of professionalism this local band need and seem to already have gained. Each member having the opportunity to vocalise in one way or another shows how equal this band are and how they put everything into what they do in order to make the band the best it could possibly be.

To round off, ‘Break The Walls’ is a heavy yet pleasing piece of work from the four young lads that are Dead Poets. The songs are incredibly written, more instrumentally rather than lyrically, although, over time and with loads more practise Dead Poets will be literally breaking the walls!
