Juliet’s Not Dead have released their new rocker, ‘Open Fire’, the second track from upcoming album ‘This World Is Ours’ which is set for release early 2025. Stevie states:
“This song means so much to me, it was one of the first ones finished and totally encapsulated what myself and the other lads were feeling at the time. Releasing a song like Thrillseekers first was great because it’s so on the nose of being heavy & melodic, and a bit more in the direction we are going as a band, whereas this next single Open Fire follows on from where we have been. I really love this song.”
Juliet’s Not Dead (formerly Twister) head out on a UK tour this Autumn under their new moniker, which will see them include their first new music since their 2022 EP “Only The Strong Survive”.
Main man Stevie Stoker said of the name change>
“This is probably the biggest decision we’ve ever made as a band, having gone under the Twister banner for so long. But following the completion of our new album with Romesh (Dodangoda, as producer) it just felt time to evolve, to kick it up, to create a brand that better represents our sound. It was hard to take the plunge but now it’s done it feels great. We love our new name and I now need another tattoo!”
He added>
“We will still be playing Twister songs, they are now just Juliet’s Not Dead songs and when coupled with the new material folks will see that growth and natural progression. These are exciting times for us, not that we were jaded or treading water but the new material sounds fresh and takes us to another level. Now we get to show our fans and hopefully gain some new ones too. We’ve spent so long perfecting this show and now we absolutely can’t wait to get out there and play for everyone.”
The run of dates will take the band up and down the country and will include new music taken from their 2nd studio album, slated for release early February 2025.
On the upcoming album, Stevie says:
“I love this album, not only do I think it’s the best music we’ve ever written, but it was also the most enjoyable writing and recording process I’ve ever been a part of. Me and Jack wrote for most of 2023. We were even recording demos while on tour round Europe. We started by having the right production team and approaching it with a clear view of what we wanted the final result to be. Romesh and the boys at Longwave made our job easy and we literally smiled and laughed our way through it.”

Heralding from the North East, Juliet’s Not Dead are an adrenaline fuelled, driven band with the sole intention of thrilling their audiences at every show. Having just finished recording the follow up to the highly acclaimed debut album ready for release in February 2025, and if their latest EP “Only The Strong Survive” is anything to go by; attitude filled riffs and a killer modern edge will be abundant.
The band have paired with mercury prize & Grammy nominated producer Romesh Dodangoda to set about crafting something special. Since the release tour for single “Don’t Play Nice” in April 2022, JND have been crushing live performances with a truly unique visual show built in to a wall of Marshall cabs.
Just one way the JND boys have put a unique twist to a traditional staple of a rock show. After raising over £6k for music charities during the pandemic the boys took crowds by storm on two self-promoted UK headline tours in 2022, selling over 2000 tickets in the process. With single “secrets” getting to #1 in the iTunes rock charts as well as being track of the week on Planet Rock & also had significant air time on BBC, following similar success with previous releases, their stock is rising rapidly. As well as 2 UK support tours and countless festivals, 2023 saw the band tour all over Europe and play in a total of 11 countries, and they can’t wait for what is to come next!.
