SoCal four-piece Dead American have dropped the new single and video, “ADD.” The single will appear on next year’s followup to 2022’s New Nostalgia.
Dead American frontman Cove Reber (formerly of Saosin) says of the new music:
“Lyrically, this song is about the difficulty of finding balance when your mind is moving a million miles an hour. Sometimes, I feel like I’d rather hold my breath than deal with the constant shuffle of thoughts in my head,”
Bad Dad (occasionally called Ed) has been on the periphery of the punk and punk-adjacent scene for over twenty years. While many contributors to this site have musical experience and talent, Ed’s musical claim to fame comes from his time in arguably the most punk rock Blockbuster Video district in NJ where he worked alongside members of Blanks 77, Best Hit TV and Brian Fallon. He is more than just an awful father to his 2 daughters, he is also a dreadful husband, a subpar writer, a terrible dresser and has a severe deficiency in all things talent… but hey, at least he’s self-aware, amirite?
