Best Left Dead are a four piece band from God knows where playing a mixture of Old School Punk and Metal and I must say that it is sounding mighty fine from where I’m standing! I had not heard of the band before I got this little baby free (e-mail best_left_dead@yahoo.com for your copy now) but was very pleased with what I heard when I put the CD on for the first time, and after many a listen I am now writing this here review.
This is a four track CD, with the fourth track on the CD being an awesome cover of ‘Puff (the magic dragon.) They also up three originals, which will blow you away with their power, flair, and pure style. Right from the word go you can tell that they are not a band who take themselves way too seriously, proclaiming ‘Lockup your daughters we’re Best Left Dead.’ This track is an awesome affair of Rock ‘n’ Roll greatness with some fast drumming, nifty bass lines, ace guitar licks, and astonishing vocals. Right from the offset there is something to rave about with this wonderful band, and the talent is kept up throughout the record resulting in one of the best Demo’s that I have heard for a long time. All of the songs show such skill, and have such a raw edge – this is a CD that really makes you want to go and see the band live as the live feel is captured here on CD and it is immense!
My favourite of the 4 tracks has to be the third track, ‘Summer’s over’ as this is just such an amazing song with some really great driving guitar riffs. The vocals are so good on this track, really shining through in an Old School Metal kind of fashion – this band are really great at what they do and the music which they create is really interesting to listen to – this track in particular as it is just so raw, quite obviously recorded just as it would be played live. The band show off so much talent on this CD and seem to be really experienced musicians at what they are doing.
This is a great CD which I advise you all to get as you definitely wont be disappointed with what you hear – this band really have a knack for what they do, creating a Demo of pure finesse. I certainly wont be forgetting the ‘Puff (the magic dragon)’ cover in a while – that’s for sure! Check out the band at their site people and see about getting the CD now!
