Tommy Dempsey – “Keep Guard”

Former front man for Boston favorites, In the Pink, and SuperZero, singer-songwriter Tommy Dempsey decided to venture on his own after being not completely satisfied with previous projects. Upon leaving SuperZero, he recorded two EPs, one titled Live Songs and the other, Five Songs, after those it was time for the full length. Whether or not you ever heard his two other bands, or his two other EPs, now is the time to hear a cut off of his most recent album titled Eleven:Eleven, recorded with guitarist/producer Pedro Silva, who also is a part of Tommy’s band, The Big Picture. This song “Keep Guard” is one of my personal favorites on the disc that perfectly displays Dempsey’s heart felt and honest writing style. It is a dark tune that explains cynicism and offers perspective on people’s trust for one another. Check out Tommy Dempsey on ReverbNation, and you can keep up with his happenings on Facebook.
