Dead To Me is a Bay Area punk rock band known for blending melodic urgency with sharp political and personal commentary. Formed in the early 2000s, the band quickly earned a reputation for thoughtful songwriting, explosive live shows, and a sound that bridges classic punk intensity with post-punk and alternative influences. Their discography includes the breakout debut Cuban Ballerina (2001), followed by the critically praised African Elephants LP (2005), which expanded the band?s sonic range and lyrical scope. The Little Brother EP further refined their sound, and in 2016 Dead To Me returned with Moscow Penny Ante, marking a powerful evolution while staying rooted in the band?s core identity. Dead To Me is currently touring as a five-piece, featuring founding member Jack Dalrymple (One Man Army, Toy Guitar, Swinging Utters) and Nathan Grice (Page 99).
Grice previously played guitar and contributed vocals on the African Elephants LP and the Little Brother EP, helping shape a defining era of the band?s sound. In 2025, Dead To Me made high-profile festival appearances at Punk in the Park, Punk Rock Bowling, and The Fest in Gainesville, reaffirming their status as a vital live band.
Looking ahead, they are set to headline Manchester Punk Fest in 2026, continuing a resurgence that connects longtime fans with a new generation. With a catalog that balances intelligence, melody, and raw energy, Dead To Me remains a band whose music and message resonate as strongly now as ever. (Text: Presseinfo)
