Product Description

Product Description
The Dead 60's know that ska never died. In fact, these lads are about to usurp the reggae-meets-ska-meets-punk-funk throne that the late great Joe Strummer left behind. If you like Hard-fi, you’ll love the Dead 60’s.

CD Description
Debut album from Liverpudlian art rockers The Dead 60's. With a sound reminiscent of early 80's post-punk, this four-piece have already been compared to the likes of The Clash andThe Specials. The album was recorded in their hometown at The Ranch studios. The singles 'Loaded Gun' and 'Riot Radio' are included.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good solid album, 29 Oct 2005
By A Customer
I like this album a lot. The Dead 60's have a different sound to the recent crop of bands such as Franz, Kaiser Chiefs, Razorlight etc. It sounds raw, stripped to the essential which I like. As other reviewers have said, there is a definite Clash influence with some reggae beats and 'Specials' type of Ska sound coming through. However, they haven't just ripped off other bands and some of the tracks are quite individual, well put together offerings such as: Train to Nowhere, Loaded Gun, The last Resort, your not the Law. This album will definitly grow on you after 2 or 3 plays. Its one of my most played CDs' at the moment and I am sure I will keep returning to it

4.0 out of 5 stars Yeah, Ok, 30 Sep 2005
By M. Speller "mattwareherts" (Herts, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Now here is an interesting one. I got a tip the other day whilst raving on about Hard-Fi and how great I think they are. They said, ow... you'll love The Dead 60s then. With that in mind, I jumped on to Amazon when I got to work and a few clicks later I had the album winging its way to me. The Dead 60s - never really heard of them, until now that is.

I'll cut to the chase, yep a bit like Hard-Fi - I quite like it. I think there is where the problem lies. I was kind of expecting a mind blowing hour of music that would have me frothing at the mouth. Didn't quite happen. Guess it has been a strong year with The Bravery, aforementioned Hard-Fi, Kaiser Chiefs et all, that any ok albums just don't quite have the effect they would have had four or five years ago when uk rock music was not on such a high.

The Dead 60s sound like The Clash did when they allowed the reggae ska roots shine through. You can see the Clash as bold as day in numerous songs on the album, and also there was a bit of Madness style ska flying about too. I found there was not the consistency in the track listing, it is the type of album I would probably skip through until I found my favourite tracks. A bit like the Duke Spirit album 'Cuts across the land'.

Don't bother spending the extra money on the bonus disc, as it is filled with other tracks that wouldn't seem out of place being played from a stall on Camden Market. Incidental, instrumental ska music.

So that is why I said it was an interesting album, not bad, interesting set of influences that has produce a good effort. Not quite up there with the best bands of this year, but probably worth monitoring in the future.

*** Like: The Clash, Madness, Hard-Fi ***

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad but no Hard-Fi!!!, 28 Sep 2005
By Mr. S. N. Drew "stuartndrew" (Manchester, England) - See all my reviews

This is a pretty good album but in no way would I consider them to be as good or like Hard-Fi.
