“The Fifth of October” by Dead Air Network is a punchy blast of punk nostalgia fused with a sharp, modern edge. Rooted in the raw spirit of old-school punk and new wave, the track channels the influence of legends like The Misfits, The Damned, Buzzcocks, and Public Image Ltd., delivering urgency, attitude, and melody in equal measure.
Dead Air Network is the long-running collaboration of two seasoned creators who’ve spent over 30 years writing and recording together. With Dave handling the lyrics and the music composed and produced in-house, the project thrives on a DIY ethos and creative freedom, often featuring different drummers to keep each release fresh and unpredictable.
Based on decades of experience and a deep love for punk’s rebellious heart, The Fifth of October stands as a testament to staying loud, honest, and creatively alive—no matter how much time has passed.
