1… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least three artists with the name Quick And The Dead:
1) A band from the Island of Jersey based in the UK.
2) A band from California, United States.
3) An Australian Oi! band, active 1979-1983.
1) Quick and the Dead (UK)
Quick and the Dead are four boys from the Island of Jersey who write pop music. Since they were 17, the band have been building a profile in the UK based on live shows, vocal harmonies, riffing and pop hooks. Well schooled in the testaments of Refused and At the Drive-in, the boys also draw on the choral aspects of Bon Iver and Fleet Foxes.
After four years writing and touring as Marvel, the boys have changed their name to QUICK AND THE DEAD ahead of the release of their debut EP FOR THE RHYTHM. Produced at Stakeout Studios by Jason Wilcock (Ghost of a Thousand, You Me At Six, My Passion, Fightstar) the EP begins with Best Of Myspace pick ‘Get Scared?’ where frontman Nick Baxter enthuses ‘You’ve never heard a sound like this before’.
At the heart of QUICK AND THE DEAD is the awareness that ‘Yeah, it’s short term’. The message within the FOR THE RHYTHM EP is to feel and to fight for the rhythms of life, to make the most of it, as it won’t last forever. Much like life, the record is short but bursting with drama. QUICK AND THE DEAD fight frustration and turmoil with spirit and life. In ‘Sparks’, Nick sings ‘We’ll search for smiles in the dark’. You can find positives even at the hardest of times. In title track ‘For The Rhythm’, guitarist and co-vocalist Todd Macdonald asserts ‘I will never give up ‘cos this is all I know’. Self-belief is everything. Elsewhere, in ‘Carry On Reaper’ and ‘Savaged’ the band deal with differing kinds of loss in a powerful and cathartic way.
QUICK AND THE DEAD tour in England and Europe later this year.

2) QUICK AND THE DEAD (US)
Quick And The Dead was a post-hardcore/alternative rock band from Pleasanton/San Francisco, California, United States.
Since 2003 Quick And The Dead have been writing and recording non-stop. With three full length albums, countless EPs and a fourth full length album on the way; Quick And The Dead show no signs of slowing down. With great reviews following their sophomore release, “Consider Your Options”, Quick And The Dead received a great amount of label attention and press. Three months after “Consider Your Options” was released Quick And The Dead went back into the studio to record “The Perfect Plan In Imperfect Hands”. After a brief tour and making an appearance at the 2006 Van’s Warped Tour, Quick And The Dead decided that it was time to go into the studio once again to make their latest full length, “Going Home”.
“Going Home” is a change in the band’s style of music and line up, though still delivers the same energy and likeable songs that fans have come to love about Quick And The Dead. With 13 brand new songs in the works, styles range between the pop rock attitude of the single “We Take Advantage”, to the heart driven ballad, “Holding on to a Dream”. The album is the band’s favorite yet. “The album is the exact style we have been driving towards since the beginning. We have finally found what we want in an album” says Kerry Gould, drummer of Quick And The Dead.
Currently finishing the album in their home studio, the band is also designing the artwork and booking a summer/fall pacific tour. Quick And The Dead have been doing everything themselves since the beginning, whether it be designing their own merchandise, booking their own tours or recording their own albums, all while holding day jobs.
Quick And The Dead broke up in 2008 and former lead vocalist/guitarist Shane Gould and Bassist Nick have gone on to start the band ADVANTAGE which will release their debut "Say Your Best, Do Your Worst" in Spring 2009.
Members:
Shane Gould (Vocals)

Tomorrow
Quick and the Dead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Taking the easy way out
Used, beaten, disposed, it's tempting
I've been told it's to selfish
Gotta fight to the finish
Thank you but it's not helping
Feel uncared for
Getting tired of feeling so lonely
But I am going to change my tomorrow
I'll be on top of the world by tomorrow
Got the strength, I can do it
Not just saying, I'll prove it
I'll prove it
Watching my rear-view mirror
And what it is reflecting
It's an image that's broken
It is time fore a change now
How damn hard can it be?
Feel uncared for
Dead and empty
Getting tired of feeling so lonely
But I am going to change my tomorrow
I'll be on top of the world by tomorrow
Got the strength, I can do it
Not just saying, I'll prove it
I'll prove it
The lyrics to Quick and the Dead's song "Tomorrow" reveal a sense of hopelessness and frustration with the current state of the singer's life. They feel defeated and tempted to give up, but at the same time, they have a desire to keep fighting and to make a change for the better. The phrase "taking the easy way out" suggests that the singer may be considering suicide, but they ultimately decide against it because they know it would be selfish. The way they feel--"uncared for," "dead and empty," and "lonely"--is clearly taking a toll on their mental health.
Despite their negative feelings, however, the singer is determined to change their life for the better. They are tired of feeling hopeless, and they have the strength and motivation to turn things around. The phrase "I'll be on top of the world by tomorrow" suggests a sense of optimism and confidence in the singer's ability to overcome their struggles.

I've been thinking about
Reflecting on my current state of life
Taking the easy way out
Giving up on life and succumbing to despair
Used, beaten, disposed, it's tempting
Feeling used and abused, leading to thoughts of self-destruction
I've been told it's too selfish
Others have warned me about the consequences of giving up on life
Gotta fight to the finish
I need to persevere through my struggles and not give up
Thank you but it's not helping
Acknowledging those that have tried to help, but nothing seems to be working
Watching my rear-view mirror
Reflecting on my past mistakes and regrets
And what it is reflecting
The negative impact of my past mistakes on my current state of life
It's an image that's broken
Feeling damaged and fragmented due to past mistakes
It is time for a change now
Realizing the need for a drastic change in my life
How damn hard can it be?
Expressing frustration and disbelief at the difficulty of change
But I am going to change my tomorrow
Determined to make a positive change for the future
I'll be on top of the world by tomorrow
Believing that I will achieve success and happiness in a short amount of time
Got the strength, I can do it
Feeling confident in my ability to make a significant change
Not just saying, I'll prove it
Backing up my words with actions
I'll prove it
Determined to succeed and showing it through my actions

One thing that I find interesting about there’s tiny detail about Cort in this scene. He’d rather die at hands of a friend, than that of an enemy.
Mollymoet
Well who wouldn't? 😁
GIPSY
what Brad C said, at that point they both have arranged the duel to make it look like Cort win by killing Lady, so Herod's attention would be on him while Lady prepared for the second part of the plan. But still, I could see that from Cort, as long as he knew Lady would be able to face (and win against) Herod.
BRADCTV
This was actually a ruse the two of them cooked up to make it appear she was killed. The blood was actually red dye. He was just acting.
Wicked Witch of the East
Probably because he knew his friend would do it quick and painless whereas Herod would humiliate and torment him before sticking a bullet in his head
