Nina's Yard Party - Deader Than Dead
"Deader Than Dead" feat. David McWane, Laila K, Barney Boom, Matty Two Belts and Sierra Lane is the second single from the collaborative Reggae/Ska Super group Nina's Yard Party. This project is the brainchild of Ben Childs of Sonic Boom Six, No Name Ska Band and Killbillies. Ben Childs is also the co-host and co-producer of 561 Music Podcast.
The point of this project is to bring people together in the grand ska tradition of unity and make music and joy. Many of the people in this band have criss crossed the world making friends so it seemed appropriate to Ben to use this network of people he has met through music over the years to create something fun and beautiful.
Deader Than Dead is a rocksteady tune that draws from early Jamaican music but puts a unique spin on it with the verses by David McWane speaking to those dissaffected people who may be a danger to themselves and others. While acknowledging that life is hard and confusing the song also says that violence is never the answer. One love!
