Death Give It Back 45 Vinyl Single Press Reviews

DEATH GIVE IT BACK PRESS REVIEWS

GIVE IT BACK ( NEW 2018 45 VINYL SINGLE ) From the Death song archive, and newly recorded by Death performing today. “Give It Back” addresses the environmental, social, and cultural questions that prove point-blank that we face the very same challenges today as when the song was first written in the late 70s, only with much more inventions. Another reflection of the timeless message conveyed by Rock-N-Roll! DEATH

All of those aforementioned aspects are present and accounted for from the moment that the “Give It Back” seven- inch’s title track opens the A-side. There, amid a simple beat, formulaic bass (which is locked tightly to the song’s chord progression) and a brilliantly poppy guitar part, singer/bassist Bobby Hackney keeps his inspiration (and lyric sheet) simple and vague (how else would one quantify lyrics like “When we were children, we made believe/ We grew up to find out life ain’t what it seems/ Day in and day out, you ask ‘Is this all?/ If life is a party, then where is the ball?’”) as he laments the perils of growing up and begs to go back to simpler times. In almost any other band’s hands, this story would quickly break down into a miserable lament of lost opportunities, but it never makes that turn in Death’s hands; for four minutes, the band keeps the mood light and bouncy, and concedes that they owe the world and need to give back for all the fun they’ve had. It’s cute and responsible – a perfect balance between young fun and adult responsibility. Read More AT: http://www.groundcontrolmag.com/vinyl- vlog-312/

New Audio: LEGENDARY PUNK FOREBEARS DEATH RETURN WITH A SOCIALLY CONSCIOUS AND GROOVY NEW SINGLE. Death’s latest single “Give It Back” was originally written by the band’s Bobby Hackney in 1979 and re-recorded last year but interestingly enough, the song concerns itself with persistent and troubling social and environmental issues that he saw almost 40 years ago, from increasing political, racial and social animus and disarray, global warming and the pollution of our water and air, and a growing sense that dreams and hopes you once had have been lies created by larger powers to keep you involved in a sick and demented system that exploits and destroys human lives and the only home we’ll ever know.

The resurgence of Death has been one of the most exciting things to happen in the past few years. Since “A Band Called Death” catapulted their back catalog back into the world’s ears, the punk pioneers have been opening their vaults to unearth more almost-lost classics. The latest was written in ’79 by bassist-singer Bobby Hackney, though it might as well have been written last week. Fear of climate change, pointless wars, and corrupt politicians mixed with a little old school rock and roll gives “Give It Back” its flavor. There’s a reason these guys are legends.
