Dead Reynolds hail from East Anglia and mix alt rock, indie rock, and pop punk with anthemic melodies and unexpected twists. They formed in October 2018 through the local music scene and have picked up long-standing support from Kerrang! Radio, Rock Sound Magazine, Powerplay Magazine, and critical acclaim from Louder/Classic Rock, plus Amazing Radio and BBC Introducing. Wake Up has a story to tell, and new frontman Rossco really tells it! Addiction and the struggles of an addict are the themes telling the story, which is close to the band and familiar to many. All wrapped up in layers of guitars, modern beats, and anthemic harmonies. Wake Up is thought-provoking, real, and blossoms into arena-like singalongs with a message that lasts longer than 3 and a half minutes.
