Calling All Cars

"Dancing With A Dead Man" is the follow-up to australian heavy rock band Calling All Cars' debut album "Hold, Hold, Fire".

Produced by Tom Larkin (Shihad, The Getaway Plan, Young and Restless) and mixed by Chris Sheldon (Gun, Feeder, Foo Fighters, Biffy Clyro, Skunk Anansie), the new album is out today via Shock Records.

"There’s definitely more of a cohesive theme running through it," says bassist Adam Montgomery about the new work. "It's not a concept record at all, but it's got a similar feel running through it, which is exactly what we wanted."

Watch the video for the first single "Reptile" on YouTube and listen to the whole record on FasterLouder now.

For the first time I was able to make the record I’ve always wanted to make".
