Notable: This spring Dark Water Transit will release its own version of the Dawn of the Dead soundtrack. The original score was recorded by Goblin, a ’70s band that did horror-movie soundtracks.
Quotable: Paul Joyce on the band’s sound: “We’re instrumental. It’s classical rock mixed with technical sounds, but heavy on melody at times. We have hooks at times, there are parts you can hum along to, even though it can be over the top.”
