Dancing Dead, a folk-rock group from Preston, is planning a future beyond the COVID-19 crisis. The trio may be working in a garage environment, but they have high hopes. They intend to hit the live music scene when the move becomes a practical proposition. Flyer printing can be useful in the music industry, especially when there are promotional opportunities available.
Mark Bamber, Tom Costello and Carlo Squillino are the members of Dancing Dead. Squillino is a vocalist who writes songs, while Bamber plays guitar and Costello keeps time on the drums. Squillino said:
“Our goal is to reflect on the human condition through songwriting. We aim to be universal and poetic, becoming songwriters whom listeners with similar struggles can relate and identify with, and hopefully feel a little less alone.”
The group has not got access to sophisticated equipment at this stage of its development. It has been working with a solitary microphone. However, Squillino is proud of his working-class status.
Dancing Dead’s recently released single has the title of ‘Dark of the Day’. The composition is a reflection on loss and isolation. Squillino believes that the song fits with the sombre mood of 2020.
An album called ‘Wasteland’ is in the pipeline. It will be released by an independent label named Bonfire Records.
