Reviews

Selected reviews of releases and festival performances from j:dead.

"It was without a doubt the most lively show I attended the entire weekend, as frontman Jay Taylor bounced around the stage with enthusiasm and delivered his vocals to perfection."

"And when Jay Taylor left the stage during ‘Afraid’ and half of the song pilgrimaged through the audience, the mood was at its peak. After this performance it was already clear that I had made the right decision for today."

"j:dead remains an artist with his own approach in sound. Some might call it Electro-Pop but the harder and harsher approach rather sounds like a Dark- and/or Industrial Pop format. The vocals are switching from clear, powerful passages to harsh parts. The choruses are melodic."

"More than a few EPs can be accused of being mere stopgaps between albums, collections of passable B-sides with a few disposable remixes tacked on for good measure that only command the attention of dedicated devotees. Vision of Time defies such a categorization by assembling some of j:dead’s best tracks to date that showcase Taylor’s growth as a singer and songwriter, fueling and intensifying the anticipation of his forthcoming album."
