Dalrymple and the Wild Daimons is a hard rock band, consisting of three members who go anonymously by this moniker. Frontman Dalrymple has been around the scene for decades now and is releasing is brand-new single “Blood On The Concrete.” The artist says that he was from Detroit, MI, originally and that the lyrics were initially a poem that his father, Bill Sheets, wrote that he dedicated to the high school students of Detroit. Long story short, his father gives him a call and asks him when he’s going to record it. Dalrymple had turned the poem into a song back in 2004 with his first band, Y KILL K, but they never recorded it. The artist can’t believe that a song which he wrote back when he was 21 would become his 100th song that he’s released into the world.
Once you hit play, you’ll be hit by the immense ambience of the track as some noodling comes across on the guitar and some other-worldly synths. Next, Dalrymple’s vocals come across like a wail as the ghostly vocal background harmonies take shape. What I noticed from the get-go is that Dalrymple’s vocals are fraught with feeling. Next, the music becomes more adamant as Dalrymple belts out the lyrics in a scream-o fashion. The soaring electric guitar solos definitely reel you in. There was something so theatrical about this single that reminded me of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. The lyrics talk about the grittiness of life on the streets and together with Dalrymple and the band’s bold and daring execution made for a great listen. I think it’s especially Dalrymple’s singing style that will really take you to the streets of Detroit and through his and his father’s vision, show you something truly relevant and that speaks of the times. The band has been making music for a while now and it shows in their on-point delivery and synergy. I look forward to seeing perhaps a full-length release from them soon!
