D.I.D – Fast Food

New name. Same hooks. The second taster of the new and improved Dog is Dead proves that they’ve not strayed too far from the familiar sounds of their debut album ‘All Our Favourite Stories’ as first new single ‘Hotel’ would’ve had you believe. 

Frontman Rob Milton’s voice is still as soft as velvet during this verses as it cascades over a springy, sunken bassline and a plucky guitar line that’s as radio friendly as Nick Grimshaw. But the hook and chorus are the real standout features of this track. Milton’s delivery quickens to spit out ‘Now all we do is eat fast food / All we do is fool around / What we do means nothing, nothing, nothing’ as if he’s dismissing a lover as cannon fodder. After this the whole thing continues to build to the climax of 'I can keep my head up / And if I let you down, I can keep my head up', which you can already tell is aiming for max crowd participation on their upcoming UK tour. 

The main thing that Fast Food accomplishes however, is that it keep us guessing as to what D.I.D. will do next. But one things for sure, it presumably won't be a venture into the takeaway industry. 

Fast Food is available to download now from iTunes and is also part of the Fast Food EP alongside fellow tracks Gameplan, Hotel and Big Lie which is released on the 18th of September.
