The Deadnotes - Rock 'n' Roll Saviour (2025) [Hi-Res]

“In recent years the term “rock ’n’ roll” has become a kind of punchline; a musical synonym for outdated gender roles, for being out of touch, for having a macho mindset. So obviously, as with so many things in the modern age, it’s high time for a complete overhaul — as The Deadnotes have fittingly titled their third album, giving the well-known catchphrase of “Sex, Drugs and Rock’n’Roll” a contemporary and long overdue update. The destructive power of rock is well-documented and The Deadnotes know it all too well, but bandmembers Darius Lohmüller and Jakob Walheim prefer to emphasize the unfathomable, yet always tangible, power of music. Despite all the clichés, there is also a fundamental truth about rock music: the songs that blare too loudly, the nights that become way too long, the lyrics that hit too true at just the right moment… all of it can save you, no matter what. Those who have felt it know it to be true. The Deadnotes have written songs that want to do just that — be your saviour.”
