Juliet’s Not Dead, formerly known as Twister, blasted the UK rock circuit with ‘Thrillseekers‘, a formidable first release under their new moniker; the meteoric entry sets the stage for the hotly anticipated forthcoming LP which is being teased for an early 2025 release.
For anyone who has been following the Durham-hailing prodigal juggernauts, expect a seismic shift in their sonic signature with this release which unravels as an electrifying departure from their previous hits.
To juxtapose the scathed snarls of the straitjacket tight instrumental arrangement which pits growling basslines against distorted to the degree of aural debauchery guitars and frenetic pulse-pounding percussion, the vocals push sticky-sweet magnetism into the explosion of high-octane energy as they embed romanticism into the choruses which elevate the track into an anthem of visceral emotion.
Produced by the esteemed Romesh Dodangoda, the track not only kicks off a new chapter for the band but also sets a precedent for the genre itself. As ‘Thrillseekers’ paves the way for the upcoming album, Juliet’s Not Dead is poised to ascend to the ranks of hard rock royalty alongside bands like Florence Black, Massive Wagons and South of Salem. With a UK tour lined up this Autumn, the stage is set for Juliet’s Not Dead to conquer hearts and charts alike.
Thrillseekers took the airwaves by storm on August 30th; stream the single on Spotify and keep up to date with news of the upcoming LP from Juliet’s Not Dead via Facebook and Instagram.
