The Better Dead is Steven Speck and Cameron Jessop. Independent heavy music from Brighton and the UK South Coast.
Guitar, vocals and drums push between groove, grunge and modern metal. Big riffs and sharp hooks sit against a darker lyrical core, with the songs built from the ground up by the band.
For listeners drawn to Royal Blood, Alice In Chains, Avenged Sevenfold and Bullet For My Valentine.
