![]() This track was first composed at 4am after a long drive back from Dan Reed seeing his friends in AC/DC perform in Berlin, hence the homage to their style of Rock. Until we face the ‘ghost inside’, make peace with it, and admit our darker side is powerful and to be respected, then we’ll always be in danger of letting it define our future. It’s the voice inside telling us we can’t achieve something, or we are not strong enough to overcome something holding us back from expressing our true passion in life. Dan loved the guitar riff and felt it reflected the internal battle we all have at some point in our lives with darkness, demons, regrets. This song started off as a musical demo Brion James sent to Dan Reed. The aggressive musical track Dan wrote mirrors the hatred both sides hold for the other while the chorus is a reminder that it’s never too late to celebrate that which binds us together if we take the time to admit it. Unfortunately, there’s far too much money to be made on making sure people never see eye to eye and the karma, or energy, that is fostered in this environment will one day come back to haunt everyone. The Left and Right share far more commonalities than differences. ![]() This track’s intention is to shine light on how political and social tribalism, especially in the US, is in danger of creating a divide between humanity that will be hard to heal if it continues unchecked. Dan has even created personalised, hand-written lyric sheets for each song that will be randomly placed inside the limited-edition box sets. The new album is targeted at visionaries who want to be part of, and bear witness, to the next step in the Dan Reed Network’s artistic evolution.Īvailable to pre-order from the official DRN store Let’s Hear It For The King will be available as a limited edition DRN LHIFTK box set, limited edition coloured vinyl, and much more. Not for the faint-hearted, the long-awaited new DRN album pays tremendous detail to infectious melodies, provocative lyrics and honours their shredding funk rock roots. “These songs are the strongest representation of the band’s sound that we’ve ever created. “This is the heaviest, funkiest and most melodic DRN album to date,” says Dan Reed. Let’s Hear It For The King comes full circle to the band’s original vision statement – to challenge beliefs, smash down existing protocol, and build something new out of the shrapnel. The highly anticipated sixth studio album is DRN’s first since 2018’s Origins album. On the new album Let’s Hear If For The King, The Dan Reed Network return with a collection of their distinctive brand of exhilarating rock, funk, and soul. Musically and thematically, I think this song more than any other on the record encapsulates that.”Īs for the accompanying music video, it is a clip from the short film written and directed by Reed of our humble hero of the story named ‘King’ played by Michael Abubakar, taking care of his nightly janitorial duties in the Supernova Cabaret Club, while the Bar Manager ‘Goldie’ played by Dashi Stardust, dances off the stress at the end of a busy night. The Dan Reed Network was always about forward thinking, progression, and challenging status quos. “This whole record was about the band returning to its roots, not necessarily sonically, but in terms of value and driving force behind what we want to achieve. All while delivering the lushest and most anthemic of chorus melodies and lyrically asking real questions of the world.Īlthough not what the band grew to prominence for in the late 80’s and early 90’s Dan sees this as a natural part of the band’s evolution. ![]() Crushing guitars collide with huge sub drops, Latin percussion, synth swells / stabs and yes, there are trumpets in the outro. The song itself is a mind-bending heavy rock meets dubstep and funk crossover that sees the band at their heaviest yet most melodic simultaneously. Your support and tolerance during this most difficult of times has allowed the band to maintain hope that we’d finally reach this day and here we are! Next stop, live shows!” “A massive thank you to all of those who have pre-ordered this release and been so patient with the band during this time. “First and foremost, I am genuinely elated that the whole album is now out in the world for everyone to hear,” says Dan Reed.
