DD Allen‘s new track ‘Rebel Hero’ is an emotionally-charged musical journey that showcases the artist’s determination and resilience. Hailing from Bournemouth, Allen’s music resonates with conflict and resolution, reflecting a quest for solace within his songs.
Influenced by The War on Drugs and The Killers, the artist possesses a distinct voice that cuts through the mainstream. His sound is reminiscent of the rebellious spirit of Bob Dylan in the 60s, tearing down Highway 63 with its raw energy.
‘Rebel Hero’ serves as the title track and lead single of DD Allen’s debut EP. It is an anthemic indie rock’n’roll song that immediately captures our attention.
With a singalong chorus, massive guitar melodies, and a full band sound, the track embodies the essence of stadium anthems. While it pays homage to the nostalgic days of the ’70s, it also embraces modern production and sonics, showcasing Allen’s growth as an artist under Tucker’s guidance.
The inspiration for ‘Rebel Hero’ came from Huey Morgan’s book of the same name, which provided Allen with motivation and ideas during the career-stalling lockdown.
After facing lost shows and health challenges, the artist found solace and escapism in the stories of rebel heroes.
This newfound inspiration fueled the creation of his EP, which captures the spirit of rebellion and a longing for freedom through his craft.
