The video, shot during their recent European tour with Topsy Turvy’s, was filmed and edited by Alex Bergeron.
“The Great Ride” offers a mid-tempo punk rock anthem with heartfelt lyrics and catchy melodies. Berthiaume explains, “The song is about cherishing every moment of life. It encourages listeners to live in the present and make the most of their time on earth.” The song is the epic closer to the 11-song album, showcasing a mix of energetic tracks reminiscent of late ’90s skate punk.
Dead Alright’s debut album, Dancing Through The End of Days, includes tracks such as “Smoke & Mirrors,” “Parasites,” and “Locker Room Mentality.” It blends nostalgic punk rock vibes with modern production. The album is available for streaming on various digital platforms, capturing the raw energy and emotional depth that fans of bands like Lagwagon, A Wilhelm Scream, and Millencolin will appreciate.
