The Video Dead singer Ben Rispin sounds how Rise Against?s Tim McIlrath wishes he could; no strained rasp, just a naturally gruff growl that resonates an angry street toughness, shaking the soul of anyone who dares shout along. This is what punk rock should
be: raw, pissed off, loud, fast and critical yet strangely embracing. Over the last four years, The Video Dead avoided cookie-cutter punk, instead fusing haunting, anticipatory hooks with carefully constructed guitar breakdowns, buildups and interludes that?ll manipulate your adrenaline. Plug in to songs like ?Jesussavesdotcom? and ?The Legend of Billy Tipton? to recharge your batteries. Whether you?re into Death By Stereo, Madball, Comeback Kid, Rise Against or The Unseen, these anthems will sucker-punch, drop-kick, dust off, and ultimately inspire.
