Having been influenced by the likes
of The Infested and No Cash, Dead Rejects is
a three-piece band from Jersey City. Screaming
by Myself is an 8-track
Ska-core album that you can download here. Personally, I wasn't a big fan
of Sleeping is for Suckers that was released in April. Yet, I
felt Screaming by Myself deserved attention due to it having
an immense variation of sound. Continuing the iconic ‘dying monster’ drinking
coffee album cover, it clocks in at 27:40 and meant to be listened as a whole
(as all albums should be listened). The Crack Rock Steady label is fair (if you
ignore some Punk Rock elements), yet I feel the Ska-core/Ska-punk labels are
more appropriate.
Ruthless
World first chorus being “Fuck the world, cause everything
seems to be wasting away”, I felt in good company. It’s a nice, anthem-ish song
and strong start to the album. I dare associate this song with the likes
of Against All Authority and The Casualties.
Insane has a
bizarre intro riff. Interesting progression into ska-beats, notably having only
one guitarist. Screaming by myself ranges from accessible punk
rock to more guttural vocals. Rejects from the dead is full
blown Ska-Punk and the bass is awesome. Set it to fire and Dead
Chords have a melancholic feel to them.
Overall a must listen for fans of heavier
Punk music.
