Already Dead Declare “Something Like A War” With New Album
By now everyone knows that old adage about making albums, about how a band has its entire life to craft the first one but only a year or two to write the second. It’s a cautionary tale built around creative pressure, unforgiving deadlines, and how a songwriter is now saddled with the expectation to not only maintain, but build upon, any success of the band’s debut. Boston’s Already Dead do not give a fuck about any of that. Instead vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter Dan Cummings has taken an inspired approach in creating Something Like A War, Already Dead’s relentless and confrontational new album that is out today on CD and through streaming platforms, with the raucous release party going down tonight at Thirsty First in Lowell. He’s assembled his crew, leaned in to the energy around him, and allowed the seeds of his songwriting to take a louder, more aggressive shape than the Boston punk band’s 2022 debut album, My Collar Is Blue.
