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.
About j:dead
j:dead is the project of UK artist Jay Taylor. He produces a mix of industrial, gothic, electronic and modern-metal. The project started with the single “Haunt” (2019), followed by “Feeding On Me” (2020) and the album “A Complicated Genocide” (2021).
Subsequent releases include the singles “Tearing Me Apart” (with Teknovore) and “I’ll Wait” (both 2021); “DAS OM3N” (a cover), the EP “Vision Of Time,” and the single “Hold Tight” (all 2022); and the collaborations “High Time (Chinese Takeaway)” with FabrikC and “Thrive” with Nature Of Wires (both 2022).
Side-Line covered the EP “Vision Of Time” on its 2022 release via Infacted Recordings. In 2023 j:dead issued “Surrendering,” a cover of “You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)” with Menschdefekt, the single “Harbour,” and the EP “ROOTS,” followed by “What We’ll Be” (2024) and “Pressure” (2025). The latter opened a year-long campaign of monthly singles continued in 2026 by “Disgusting,” “Who Knows,” “Feeling Alone,” “Silence Calls” and “Over The Years.” “Keep Walking,” released on June 5, 2026, is the seventh single in that series.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil. Besides music I’m also an SEO and AI content flow specialist and have an interest in everything finance from stocks to crypto. There is music in everything!
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
