Dead Bars

Seattle, WA

Bio

Seattle’s Dead Bars, in the words of Razorcake, “make something impossible to duplicate look so simple and attainable.” For over a decade, the band—founded and led by John Maiello—has been delivering life-affirming hard rock, drawing comparisons to acts like Dead Milkmen, White Reaper, and Fucked Up. Throughout this time, they’ve earned national acclaim while remaining a beloved institution. They’re the band most likely to be seen sweating it out on stage any given night, delivering “emotional singalong anthems—perfect for screaming along after you’ve had a beer, or five,” as Kerrang! puts it.

Their third LP, All Dead Bars Go to Heaven, reaffirms that there is “arguably no better Seattle band,” according to The Seattle Times. With ten hook-laden heavy hitters—from the rousing opener “I Wanna Be a Ghost” to the anthemic closer “Be Me”—the album marks a new chapter: an introduction for the next generation ready to escape the grind, and a reminder to the previous one of their enduring power. The theme is heaven: a place of eternal reward for a life lived virtuously, regardless of the love or loss that once defined it. When the band cries “Dead Bars Forever,” they mean it.
