This Montana Based Roots rock band envelopes the introspective and often heavy songwriting of Taylor Burlage in a blanket of sound descended from southern rock, and psychedelia. The Dead & Down will take you on a journey; moments of cosmic flare and pure, unadulterated rock and roll balanced with a western feel. Imagine if Keith Richards and John Prine were in Pink FLoyd and you might find a starting point for what they sound like. “The Dead and Down have a sound that doesn't fit into one bin. They combine elements of Country, Americana, and Rock for a sonic experience that stays interesting. Their new song, “Switchbacks” has a solid country-rock feel, but the break in the middle is a lot more akin to prog rock. It's a combo that works!” - Bob Wall, KGVM Bozeman
