East Coast alternative rock/pop-punk crew Northvale have teamed with The Dangerous Summer frontman AJ Perdomo, for their emo-laced new single, “Already Dead”.
The track explores escaping from societal norms and belief systems, with lead vocalist Keith Karol explaining:
“”Already Dead” confronts the profound disillusionment with structured belief systems—not just religious faith, but also the societal norms that dictate our lives. At its core, the song explores the liberation from these impositions and the empowerment of steering one’s own fate, encapsulated in the resonant hook, “I gotta live like I’m already dead.””
Karol continues: “Our collaboration with AJ Perdomo of The Dangerous Summer was almost predestined. Having previously worked with him on “High Tide,” we envisioned his involvement from the early stages of writing. AJ’s unique voice and energy have profoundly enhanced the track, making it a standout piece in our repertoire.”
Two years on from the release of their last music, resonating comeback anthem “Better When I Can” delighted fans this summer, offering a candid and personal look at addiction, whilst showcasing the band’s uncompromising authenticity.
Like “Better When I Can” before it, new single “Already Dead” ft. AJ Perdomo shows a new level of maturity from Northvale. The lyrically vulnerable but sonically uplifting anthem questions the cult of belief systems, and implores listeners to follow their heart, not the madding crowd.
