Dead Sara is a band that will knock you backwards one second
and soothe your soul the next. Since the
release of their eponymous album in 2012 the band has begun to rocket into the
mainstream with performances on Jimmy Kimmel Live and award nods from all over
the world. Their hit single “Weatherman”
has blown up in the last year and has led to tours with many notable rock and
alternative bands including Muse, Neon Trees, and The Used. I had the privilege of seeing them live on
tour with The Offspring at the House of Blues in Boston last year and was pleasantly
surprised by the band. Their stage
presence is intense to put it lightly with lead singer Emily Armstrong
screeching the lyrics as if it were her last time on stage. Bouncing all over the place and jumping off of
amps and speakers, Armstrong and lead guitarist Siouxsie Medley feed off each
other extremely well and are a tight knit team backed up by an exceedingly
strong rhythm section. Their music is
unique in that it sounds so different from track to track. While songs like “Weatherman” and “Lemon
Scent” are destined to become unforgettable hard rock songs, others like “Dear
Love” and “We are What You Say” have much more poppy rhythms and could be
called decidedly more “mainstream”. The
differences between each track however just keep the album fresh and
interesting. I would predict that we
will be hearing a lot more about Dead Sara in the future.
