		The Dead 60s - a razor-sharp four-piece composed of singer and guitarist Matt McManamon, organist and guitarist Ben Gordon, bassist Charlie Turner, and drummer Bryan Johnson - are a return to the original British punk distillation combining garage rock urgency, skanking rhythms, shouted choruses, and romper stomper energy.
		Despite the experimental nature of the band's approach to songwriting, The Dead 60s were able to lock onto a highly accessible sound that immediately appealed to everyone from punk fanatics to reggae enthusiasts throughout their native UK.
		The Dead 60s are clearly a band determined to come at their music from a unique angle and have rapidly found a receptive audience on their travels around the UK and the U.S.

	[No title]
		The Dead 60s arouse such devotion to the themes of anti-conservatism and emotional deadlock; things have a habit of going around in circles.
		Except the Dead 60s are not the first or last to salvage traditional values for their musical inspiration.
		The Dead 60s “A lot of bands in Liverpool live off the Beatles’ heritage, and as much as I like all that music from that pop generation, it’s not something that has influenced us directly as a band.

	The Dead 60s ‘The Dead 60s’
		Without a shadow of a doubt The Dead 60s are a million miles away from the skin-up-la psychedelic shanties of fellow Scousers and labelmates The Coral and The Zutons — Love and Beefheart have come off the turntable and been replaced by a heap of skin-up-la Trojan 45s and dub 12 inchers.
		Yet fine as these nuggets are, The Dead 60s are at their best when they start to flex their musical muscles to stretch out beyond their allocated boundaries.
		The Dead 60s ‘The Dead 60s’ (Deltasonic) Released September 26 2005.

		Fair play, then, to the Coral's Deltasonic labelmates the Dead 60s for sticking the finger up at the lot of them and at 60s-influenced white pop culture as a whole.
		To this end, the Dead 60s have acquired state-of-the-art production, pop melodies designed to get on the radio and - in a personal touch - some bonkers sound effects possibly liberated from a submarine at the Albert Dock.
		The Dead 60s are best on the few occasions when they are dancing in the wreckage of the past (current top 30 hit Riot Radio, dub-crazed instrumental Soul Survivor), rather than when they're mischievously re-spraying A Certain Ratio's version of Shack Up or the Specials' Ghost Town.

	HYBRIDMAGAZINE.COM \| REVIEWS \| The Dead 60s album review
		Were it not for The Clash, bands like The Dead 60s might be doing something other than impersonating their heroes, and poorly attempting to update the sound.
		Which is not to say that The Dead 60s are bad - The band is actually quite talented, however any review of their new record would read similar to a review of London Calling when it was first released.
		Most of the tracks on The Dead 60s eponymous album follow a basic musical tenet: follow the lead of The Clash.

	The Dead 60s
		Coming off an extremely successful 2004 where they toured with The Thrills, Morrissey and Kasabian, The Dead 60s have gained critical acclaim for their UK hit single, "Riot Radio," which arrives at U.S. radio April 19.
		The Dead 60’s are a band from Liverpool who sound absolutely nothing like anything else the city has ever produced.
		We’ve just been in a garage putting together the grooves for our album." The foundations of what The Dead 60’s are doing echoes what bands like The Clash and The Specials were attempting to create in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s: a defiantly British soundtrack to urban living, but one with deep Jamaican roots.

		The Dead 60s are a group of Liverpool based young men who (like Bloc Party and The Futureheads) take their musicial influences from late 70s/early 80s post-punk.
		I first came across The dead 60's about a year ago when they were supporting The Thrills on their November 04 Tour.
		Whilst The Dead 60s will probably never reach that status gained by the 2Tone movement of the 70s of which they are influenced by, this album is well worth a listen, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

		Although the Dead 60s seem intent–in name and in approach–on burying the decade that belonged to fellow Liverpudlians the Beatles, they turn to another decade and style for inspiration: the punk and post-punk of the seventies.
		Edgy, intense, and deeply indebted to ska, dub, and the reggae-punk amalgams pioneered by bands like the Clash, the Jam, and the Specials, the Dead 60s bring their own flavor to the revival-mad 2000s.
		The choice of source material is understandable: this was a great sound, and the Dead ’60s resuscitate it with talent and conviction.

	BBC - Oxford - Entertainment - The Dead 60s review
		Our beloved Zodiac was chosen as a venue at short notice for the well regarded The Dead 60’s last Thursday night, and although sparsely attended, the sheer punchiness and pace of the band’s performance made for a satisfying evening.
		A poll of music industry professionals in 2005 voted The Dead 60’s as the second most likely band to make it to the big time, well ahead of the luminaries Scissor Sisters and just behind The Bravery.
		A year ago they played downstairs here and it is obvious they have a good deal more gravitas than back then. The Dead 60’s clearly showed they can punch well above their weight, so watch out and don’t stand in their way.

	The Dead 60s - The Dead 60s : album review
		While this may be valid it's also true to say that many of these bands do it extremely well, and to their number can be added The Dead 60s.
		What The Dead 60s do possess in abundance is a good strong melody in each song, usually complete with sound effects, good humour and a barrage of guitars in any bridge passage that cares to use them.
		The '60s may be dead, but as this record proves, the '70s and '80s are anything but.

		The Dead 60s / The Rifles - Manchester Academy 2 - 16.3.06
		Most bands would saw off their right leg to be playing a near capacity Academy 2, but there's a sickening thought whenever you mention the name the Dead 60s that they truly could have been one of the biggest bands in the country if their label knew how to market them.
		The other newie "Don't Walk Away" is again typical 60s, the usual spaghetti punk influences shining through, with the nearest they've come to sounding like a fellow Deltasonic label mates The Coral in their career so far.

		The Dead 60's have a different sound to the recent crop of bands such as Franz, Kaiser Chiefs, Razorlight etc. It sounds raw, stripped to the essential which I like.
		Guess it has been a strong year with The Bravery, aforementioned Hard-Fi, Kaiser Chiefs et all, that any ok albums just don't quite have the effect they would have had four or five years ago when uk rock music was not on such a high.
		The Dead 60s sound like The Clash did when they allowed the reggae ska roots shine through.

	Rolling Stone : The Dead 60s: The Dead 60's : Music Reviews
		The Dead 60's are four liverpool boys beholden to the artier side of early-Eighties post-punk, laying spectral keyboard noises over skittish rock-disco grooves and working up basement homages to the Clash's Sandinista!
		Their debut is packed with rubbery bass lines, ice-pick guitar, dub textures and speechlike declamation, all of which they wrap up in a sheen of detached cool.
		On "Loaded Gun," the Dead 60's rev the tempo and come up with one of the album's few memorable lyrics, but even when they're firing on all cylinders, their grooves are both overstuffed and brittle.

		The 1960s may be dead for this Liverpool quartet, but the 1980s are alive and well.
		The opening track sets the scene: For the first few seconds, you'd swear it was Gang of Four--by way of Franz Ferdinand--with that angular, yet bouncy guitar attack, but then the vocals come in.
		On the rest of their debut, the Dead 60s distinguish themselves from the current UK guitar-rock crop with shorter songs and more ska, dub, and "Rock the Casbah"-style dance beats, which means they would fit just as comfortably on a bill with Bloc Party as The Rapture.

		The Dead 60's debut cd has a mix of influences.
		The Dead 60's do sound a lot like the Clash at times but more often sound much more like Gang Of Four.
		This band are always getting compared to old Ska bands, and yes, they do have a ska sound, but The Dead 60s are more upbeat, more rock, and I think they sound a lot like Elvis Costello's better music, although the Dead 60s are much better.

		Like most British Guitar bands to make it big in 2005, The Dead 60s are clearly influenced by The Specials and The Clash, but this lot have given it their own Mersey-twist.
		As if to demonstrate this, at the encore, a siren is played constantly while the band are off stage — The Dead 60’s seeming keen to create their own racket as the audience isn’t interested in doing so, save for a group of about ten people near the front of the stage.
		There are many memorable bands to have come from the banks of the Mersey since those four famous moptops got together and changed the world, but on this performance The Dead 60’s are not one of them.

		A group who can hard-wire the paranoid skank of A Certain Ratio, the social awareness of The Clash and still have razor-creases in their sta-press whilst they do it.
		Time to meet The Dead 60s (Matt McManamon: guitar/vocals, Ben Gordon :guitar/organ, Charlie Turner: bass, Bryan Johnson: drums).
		Rather than trawl through the typically rizzla-heavy 'vibes' of The La's, Love and Beefheart for inspiration (the name is a dig at the Mersey seal of approval "you sound dead 60s"), they will happily namecheck anyone with an eye for the dancefloor, regardless of age or era.

		The result is the stunning debut album ‘The Dead 60s’.
		Meanwhile, ‘We Get Low’ is the Dead ‘60s at their most light-hearted, reaching beyond the rhetoric to show off what King Tubby and Ennio Morricone might have sounded like had they grown up in the backstreets of Merseyside.
		It’s an indication that The Dead ‘60’s have the capacity to document city life for years to come.
