Dead Romantic are trapped in their own emotions in their new single and lyric video Caught In The Moment — showcasing today on Tinnitist.
Toronto’s hardest rockers are back with a vengeance on their latest release. The explosive Caught In The Moment delivers a visceral punch to the gut, capturing the suffocating weight of feeling unseen and unheard. The song’s ferocity and emotional honesty hit like a freight train, making it clear that Dead Romantic have cracked the code to turning pain into power.
“This song is about that suffocating feeling of being invisible — of putting yourself out there and still being ignored,” says guitarist Mike K (for Krompass), who also produced the track. “It’s about the heartbreak of being sidelined, of watching someone you care about slip away because they’re too caught up in their own world to notice the damage they’re causing. Caught In The Moment is a raw, unapologetic release of that frustration — pure honesty with no filter.”
With powerhouse vocals from frontman Eko and a bone-crushing rhythm section from bassist Paulo De Bartolo and drummer Nick Chiaore, Caught In The Moment delivers in spades. The song builds from hauntingly sparse moments into an all-out, full-throttle assault — capturing the kind of energy that could have come straight out of a Deftones or Linkin Park track. Eko’s vocals, intense yet controlled, channel the same emotional urgency of icons like Chino Moreno and the late Chester Bennington.
Featured in the second season of Netflix’s Perfect Match, the single has already garnered over 90,000 views in just two weeks. It’s the latest in a string of explosive singles that have helped solidify Dead Romantic’s presence in the scene. Fight Me (over a million streams) and Kissed With A Lie (more than two million) have only increased the band’s momentum, while Yesterday has racked up a combined 2.5 million streams.
Dead Romantic’s live shows are just as intense, and their recent recording session at BCMG Recordings proves they can capture that same energy in the studio. Expect them to bring it all to the stage when they perform Caught In The Moment live.
