Over the years, London-based artist Danny Wright has earned the title of the Prince of Pop Punk, resonating with those who revel in the raw, emotive energy of the style. Since his debut in 2017 with the EP T.R.U.S.T, Danny has consistently delivered guitar-driven, hook-filled tracks that have cultivated a devoted following.
His earlier hits like “Train Wreck,” “Broken Youth” and “Wishing Is Easy” earned high praise, featured on BBC Radio 1 and Spotify’s NEW PUNK TRACKS. With a growing social media presence, he’s also become a voice for mental health awareness, connecting authentically with a diverse audience.
Danny’s latest release, “Not Dead Yet,” marks a significant moment in his musical journey, showcasing his artistic growth, blending vibrant energy with profound lyricism. Opened by bright electric guitar notes dancing above a rousing blend of crunchy chords and pounding drums, the lead guitar gives way for Danny’s emotive vocal leads to enter.
As the drums rumble and the guitars chug in the background, the song then erupts into a powerful chorus capped by soaring vocal leads and energising rhythm. It’s a superb modern rock outing full of catchy lines and meaningful songwriting.
The song distils themes of perseverance and personal growth, carrying a profound personal resonance, reflecting Danny’s experiences during a hiatus from music. The spirit of pop punk shines through via an outpouring of raucous energy and cathartic lyrical writing. As he continues to evolve and share his sonic vision, “Not Dead Yet” is a thrilling new cut from a talented artist who continues to operate at the highest level.
Paired with the single is a new music video that features Danny performing the song backed by drummer Bobby Koda in a room drenched in lime green light. The striking, fast-paced visuals mirror the song’s high-octane sound and showcases the electrifying performance style that defines Danny’s musical identity.
