The Dead Daisies released their self-titled debut last year and now announce the Face I Love EP, out August 5 via Caroline/Universal. The eponymous single drops June 24th along with an innovative interactive Facebook Application that will allow fans to be a part of the album cover art and music video. That same day, the EP will be available for pre-order with the title track given away as an instant-grat track to those who pre-order the album. Summer is synonymous with the road for this rock collective and they’ll be spending July on tour with Bad Company and Lynyrd Skynyrd for seven East Coast dates starting July 10th.  This comes after a massively successful run on last years Uproar Festival in which the band toured all over North America bringing awareness to rock fans of their passionate sound.  Read our in-depth interview with band lead Jon Stevens here.

The Dead Daisies were formed by singer-songwriter Jon Stevens and guitarist David Lowy in 2012. They have assembled a powerful musical collective created by a rotating line-up that features some of the best Rock musicians on the planet with a sound that’s influenced by late ‘70s and early ‘80s hard rock – big choruses, powerful melodies and strong hooks. The 2014 lineup includes Jon Stevens (Noiseworks/INXS) on vocals, David Lowy (Mink/Red Phoenix) on guitar, Richard Fortus (Guns N’ Roses/Psychedelic Furs) on lead guitar, Marco Mendoza (Thin Lizzy/Whitesnake) on bass, Dizzy Reed (Guns N’ Roses/Hookers & Blow) on keys and recently added Brian Tichy (Whitesnake/Foreigner/Billy Idol) on drums.  Read the review of their debut album on CrypticRock here.

Fortus states “This is the first group of songs that Diz, Marco and I have recorded with the Daisies”.  He also stated  “I haven’t been this excited about a recording in a long, long time and think they really capture what the band has developed in to over the last year of touring. It’s new music for classic rock fans!”
