Single Review of Dead Posey: “Can’t Take Me Down” (Position Music)

Dead Posey is comprised of lead singer Danyell Souza and guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Tony F. The single “Can’t Take Me Down” was a March 2022 release from the band’s then-upcoming EP Blue Monday.

“Can’t Take Me Down” is catchy, hooky, distorted, melodic industrial hard rock. It has the danceable energy of a dance club floor-filler, the raw emotion that has typified the best industrial rock for decades, and a more mainstream hard rock appeal, likely in large part to Danyell’s powerful-yet-clear hard rock vocal skills. And did I mention that hook? Oh, you’ll remember this song, probably sing along to it, and definitely enjoy its raw energy. Of course, as with so much of the music I choose to write about in this blog, this is a song that’ll appeal to listeners both within and beyond fans of its core genre.

More Recently

“Can’t Take Me Down” was the third song released, at the time, for an upcoming “album.” With the release of the band’s cover of New Order’s “Blue Monday” providing the fourth song, a 4-song EP Blue Monday was released in September 2022.

Dead Posey does have a cool, newer March 2023 single, “Bad Things (Come With Me),” which you can find here on Spotify.
