DEAD QUIET RELEASE NEW ALBUM “IV” – OUT NOW VIA ARTOFFACT RECORDS
LISTEN NOW ON SPOTIFY, BANDCAMP, APPLE MUSIC!
Today, Vancouver’s DEAD QUIET share “IV” via Toronto’s Artoffact Records!
Dead Quiet is back with more, and now, it’s the highly anticipated full album! Every single from this album has had its own reason to get fans pumped up for the full-length to drop. Most recently, “Dying To Live Again,” which was indisputably the perfect final single to preface the full release. Every element of the song screams “give me more” and leaves listeners not simply wanting, but needing more. Today, to serve up just that with the moment fans have been waiting for, Dead Quiet delivers “IV” in full!
On the album, Keegan says “This, our 4th album, feels like the most fully explored of any of them. We really arranged everything as a group and it has the most character because of that. It’s definitely an adventure.”

“IV” follows September 2020’s “Truth and Ruin”, which was a favourite of Exclaim! Magazine, Beatroute, V13, and more – reaching #1 on the National Canadian Campus Radio (Loud) and also being featured on CBC Rock Canada.
Not wasting any time disguising itself as anything other than a heavy-hitting classic rock ‘n’ roll track, “High Roads” leaves listeners feeling introspective with lyrics like “No time like the present/No time for defeat”, and is jam-packed with grungy guitars and ripping keyboard riffs. “The Hanging Man” follows suit, reflecting on feeling like a scapegoat and punching bag for other people’s struggles, when one is not able to take responsibility for their own actions. “No Gods, No Gold,” digs deep into the sense of longing felt during the pandemic, touching on how it took the wind out of many bands’ sails, but eventually becoming a victorious anthem of resilience where the light is seen at the end of the tunnel. “Leave The Light On,” a special song about loss and a tribute to good friends of the band, Kevin Keegan comments is “by far the saddest song we ever wrote,” and sees beautiful collaborations with Becky Black (Pack AD) and Marin Patenaude on vocals, and Matt Kelly (City and Colour) on slide guitar.
Fans can stream the new album wherever they get their music, catch Dead Quiet on tour playing their new tracks live, and keep their eyes and ears open for what’s next!
