The Austin-based quartet Ne’er-do-well channels the stadium-filling glory of arena rock and pop-punk, delivering a sound Guitar World dubbed "blistering, high-energy, metal-fired rock 'n' roll." What started as a solo project for frontman/guitarist Bryan Rolli has transformed into a relentless four-piece live outfit, tearing across Texas alongside major acts like The Dirty Nil, Knuckle Puck, and Pollyanna.
The band comments on their new single. "Dead and Gone" is a fiery hard rock anthem full of metallic riffs, soaring vocals and melodic punk flair. The song details an excommunication from a toxic and cult-like church, while the music evokes a mix of Avenged Sevenfold and Sum 41. An incendiary solo and punchy breakdown send the song over the top.
I love the riffs (the guitars sound fantastic), the energy and the band's attitude. Catchy chorus, great sound, a stunning solo section and a quality song from every point of view, amazingly written and performed by the band.
