about
BOSTON, MA [October 6, 2023] – The rent is due on the first of the month. A few days later, Already Dead have something to say about it.
The Massachusetts punk band led by songwriter Dan Cummings releases its new single “Landlord” on Friday, October 6, complete with an official music video directed by Berto Media. As acoustic as it is raw and primal, “Landlord” is a barroom folk-punk track that feels traditional based on its sing-along nature, but is solely rooted in problems of the modern day. It follows Already Dead’s Labor Day release of their punk rock version of strike hymnal “Bread and Roses,” and carries forth the band’s working class ethos first established on last year’s debut album My Collar Is Blue.
“I guess you could say ‘Landlord’ is all about a feeling,” says Cummings. “The feeling of just getting by in life, with the looming knowledge that you’re one bad month, or even week, from falling behind. I’ve certainly lived with this before. Bills are paid, life is stable, but you still know that if you take any type of hit – financial, personal, whatever – it could still fall like a deck of cards. But you keep pushing, and keep those lights on.”
