Album Review: The Dead Love - Transitions

The band are at their finest when they’re throwing down solid, guitar-driven rock tunes.

More The Dead Love More The Dead Love

Rock’n’roll is alive and well, and it’s found on Transitions, the debut record for Sydney trio The Dead Love. Cut from the same cloth as Foo Fighters, Kasabian and, more recently, Kingswood and The Delta Riggs, the band are at their finest when they’re throwing down solid, guitar-driven rock tunes. Ballad-leaning moments like Past Present Future are not as convincing, but tracks like the Stones-influenced Sun Comes Out To Play are accessible, fun and sure to get toes tapping when delivered live. Transitions is earnest and offers music fans another reason to love the local scene.
