Dead Ringer
by Tim Wenger
Dead Ringer is like a handful of their Denver counterparts, keeping fast, melodic skate punk alive in the Mile High City. Their new record kicks off with an up-tempo number called “Alcohol,” a tune that, while easy to slam dance to, is wildly relevant and extremely definitive of the band’s style.
As the record progressed, I was treated to solid punk rock lead guitar on tracks like “Due in Time” and “Coming Home,” and honest but semi-ironic vocals on “Forward to Nothing.” A bit of a Strung Out type sound, but with its own tinge. This album is the punk rock I grew up on, back in the good ol’ days when a good portion of my CDs were purchased through mail order catalogues.
