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)

Quick and the Dead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As to want to take another's piece of mind?
Is acceptance so implausible?
Well I know how the best will fall
And the rest will follow.
It's important to recognize
In this world we live there is nothing worth dying
But I know how the best will fall
And the rest will follow
Is it so easy to resign
To ruin this world for everyone?
I guess when it's all said and done
It's just something in our design.
We are all of us so capable of
The greatest acts of hate and the worst acts of love
I wonder sometimes what's the matter with us all
And I know how the best will fall
And the rest will follow...
In the song "Will I Follow" by Quick and the Dead, the lyrics provide a thought-provoking reflection on human nature and the choices we make. The opening lines suggest that it is a cruel act to take another person's peace of mind. The lyrics highlight the importance of acceptance and how it can be difficult to achieve it sometimes. The line "Well, I know how the best will fall, and the rest will follow" implies that even the strongest among us can fall and that others may follow in their footsteps.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea that nothing is worth dying for and that simply connecting with others on a human level can be enough. The singer wonders if it is too easy for us to resign ourselves to destroying the world for everyone.
The song then touches upon the idea that humans can both love and hate fiercely, and wonders what makes us act in such extreme ways. The repetition of the line "And I know how the best will fall, and the rest will follow" is a reminder that even the most admirable qualities like strength and love can be vulnerable to corruption and downfall.
Overall, the song seems to be a call for self-reflection and introspection into our choices and actions as humans.
Line by Line Meaning
How can anyone be so unkind
It's unbelievable that anyone could be so insensitive
As to want to take another's piece of mind?
Taking away someone's mental peace is a cruel thing to do
Is acceptance so implausible?
Is it impossible for us to be accepting?
Well I know how the best will fall
Even the most exceptional people will eventually fall
And the rest will follow.
Others will follow the lead when the best falls
It's important to recognize
We should acknowledge and understand
In this world we live there is nothing worth dying
No material possessions or anything else is worth dying for
It's enough to say "hello", we're all human
Simply greeting each other is enough, we all share the same humanity
Is it so easy to resign
Is it simple for us to give up
To ruin this world for everyone?
And spoil the world for everyone else?
I guess when it's all said and done
When everything has been considered
It's just something in our design.
It's an inherent part of our nature
We are all of us so capable of
All of us have the potential for
The greatest acts of hate and the worst acts of love
Displaying emotions like hate and love to the extremes
I wonder sometimes what's the matter with us all
I ponder on what is troubling us all
And I know how the best will fall
And I am aware that even the greatest will eventually fail
And the rest will follow...
And others will follow along when the best falls

Great explanation! I think this is the most connected I have felt to any workout video. I have 3 kids that love to watch/distract/join. Having them involved can be frustrating at times, but normally very motivating. My younger two ride on my back during the push-ups sometimes.
The Kettlebell Dude
Well thank you very much! I’m glad you include your kiddos in you training time. This is a way of life for me too and having my kids/family in the gym with me is great. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the great instruction. I love simple, single kettlebell workouts.
The Kettlebell Dude
My pleasure! It has been over 11 months since I began using quick and dead and I still use it every single week. Thanks for the feedback!
Marton Mengerink
Thank you for sharing. I love the minimalist training like this. All you need to stay fit. Are both these protocols in the book? I like to try the 10/2 protocol.
I cant have access to the book here.
Do you progress to heavier Bell/push ups when it starts feeling easy?
Thanks again and have a wonderful holiday. Stay healthy.
