The trio of Dead Air are breaking through the noise with their upcoming EP Elements, out February 7, 2025, via Fly Tip Records. Known for their explosive live energy and sharp, riff-heavy sound, Dead Air’s sophomore effort pushes their alt-rock roots into dynamic, moody territory. With raw, cinematic songwriting and a visceral approach to production, Elements solidifies Dead Air’s status as rising stars in the UK rock scene.
The EP opens with “Die”, a ferocious introduction that wastes no time in showcasing the band’s sharpness and urgency. Clocking in at just over three and a half minutes, it’s an unrelenting start, driven by powerful riffs and a no-holds-barred vocal performance from Reuben Moonasar.
“Love and Patience” follows and offers a brief but impactful shift with its taut energy and melody-driven hooks. The interplay between Lyle Salvatore’s guitar and Moonasar’s bass creates a dynamic tension that carries the song forward with precision and bite.
The centerpiece, “Violently Blue”, captures the EP’s darker and more introspective tone. Thunderous drumming from Rich Greenbury, a descending chromatic progression, and Moonasar’s evocative vocals combine to craft a cinematic soundscape. The track explores fractured relationships and lingering trauma.
Closing out the EP is “Breathe”, an atmospheric track that blends brooding rhythms with soaring choruses. Salvatore’s guitar work shines by weaving in and out of Moonasar’s gripping vocal delivery. The song’s layered production adds depth and resonance by creating a striking end to a tightly crafted collection.
Marking a bold step forward for the band, Elements balances raw emotion with precise craftsmanship.
