Long Island indie-punk heat-seekers Playing Dead are building on the success of their recent EP, with the release of another track from Something From Nothing. The new track “No Surprise” features Taking Back Sunday‘s Mark O’Connell on drums and Melissa Licciardello of Horrible Timing on backup vocals.
Something From Nothing is currently available on Playing Dead’s Bandcamp page.
Check out the new video below.
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?
