Hailing from London, UK comes The Fierce & The Dead, a three-piece post-rock band that is bringing something fresh and exciting to the genre. The band is comprised of Matt Stevens - Guitar, Kevin Feazey - Bass/Electronics, and Stuart Marshall - Drums. On January 3, 2010, The Fierce & The Dead released Part 1. The single is created by Matt Stevens and Kevin Feazey, and is just about nineteen minutes long. Part 1 is an all instrumental track that relies heavily on ambient and drone. The band's second release, 10X10 was also released in 2010 and is a two song EP that was recorded and mixed by Kevin Feazey. On May 16, 2011, The Fierce & The Dead released their incredible debut album If It Carries On Like This We Are Moving To Morecambe. This is an amazing album that is very refreshing to the post-rock genre. It features saxophonist Terry Edwards on two of the tracks. Terry Edwards has also played saxophone for legendary artists such as Nick Cave and Tom Waits, among others. The Fierce & The Dead definitely put together some very creative compositions and I was more than thrilled when I heard their music. If you are a fan of post-rock you should definitely go out and buy The Fierce & The Dead's three releases, but don't expect to discover your typical post-rock. This is music that needs to be heard, so do yourself a favor and go listen.Check out the track 'Part 2' from The Fierce & The Dead's album If It Carries On Like This We Are Moving To Morecambe:
