UK dark alternative artist j:dead released the single “Keep Walking” on June 5, 2026, via Infacted Recordings. The track is the seventh single in a year-long monthly release series and is available to stream and download.
“Keep Walking” continues a release campaign that j:dead launched in December 2025. Side-Line reported on the start of the run when the project launched the year-long single series with ‘Pressure’ in December 2025, and again in January 2026 when j:dead announced ‘Who Knows’ as the third single in the series. In March 2026, j:dead premiered the ‘Feeling Alone’ video on Side-Line one day ahead of its release.
These are the 2026 singles released so far: “Disgusting,” “Who Knows,” “Feeling Alone,” “Silence Calls,” “Over The Years” and “Keep Walking,” following “Pressure” in December 2025.
“Keep Walking” was inspired by the act of literally walking through trauma. It was written, performed and recorded by j:dead (Jay Taylor). Guitars were played by Hilger Tintel. The track was produced by Motel-Music and mastered by Studio-600.
