(Rock) The Dead 60s - Time To Take Sides - 2007, MP3, VBR 192-320 kbps

The band begun as Pinhole and was managed by Shifty Ryder
The band released 2 CDs before taking a break to refine
their musical direction. They emerged from their hiatus
with a new sound and a new name: The Dead 60s. As Pinhole
they went on tour with Green Day and recorded a session
with John Peel at the legendary Maida Vale studio's, they
reached number 8 in his festive top 50 songs count down in
2002

The Dead 60s undertook several tours of the USA in 2005
and they were scheduled to open "The Other Stage" at
Glastonbury on 24 June, 2005. Unfortunately, before their
set, the stage was hit by lightning and the performance
was cancelled

Fast forward two years and The Dead 60s have swerved back
to the pulsing guitar pop that is their real roots
Recorded not in Liverpool this time, but in New York based
Noise Studio, and produced by producer-in-residence there
David Kahne, (New Order, Regina Spektor, Fishbone, The
Strokes), Time To Take Sides is a move on from the
"nihilistic punk with an Arabian sounding Eastern disco
edge" of The Dead 60s. The songs, like those on the first
album, were worked out on stage. This time though the
stages were American rather than UK, and it would appear
from the melody that has crept into the new songs that the
crowd there wanted more than just a vibe. Where once was
just lyrics and beats there now are chords. What once
sounded so tightly cropped now comes from a wider angle

The Dead 60s will release their single Stand Up on 3rd
September digitally/10th September physically. Album Time
To Take Sides and Single Start A War to follow in January
2008
