Dropdead
Hardcore Punk Band from United States formed in 1991
Band Members : George Radford, Brian Mastrobuono, Bob Otis, Ben Barnett, Lee Mastrobuono, Devon Cahill
Dropdead is an American hardcore punk band based in Providence, Rhode Island. They have been active in the punk scene since 1991, having been formed in January of that year. The band's songs are generally short and very fast-paced, with few lasting longer than one minute. Other famous crust punk and grindcore bands like Nasum have covered some of their songs. The band has a strong do-it-yourself ethic.
History
Meeting in Providence in 1989, they started playing as Hellocaust. After reconfiguring the lineup, a name change, and a great increase in speed and intensity, Dropdead was officially formed in January 1991. The first show happened in April 1991 with Born Against and Rorschach.
They are currently writing material for their third full length record, the follow up to their 1998 Untitled album. They plan on recording it with Kurt Ballou at GodCity Studio, hoping for a 2019 release.
Influences
They have cited various acts where they have drawn musically from: Anti Cimex, Crass, Conflict, Confuse, Discharge, Gauze, Icons of Filth, Infest, Lärm, Merzbow, Mob 47, Pandemonium, S.O.B., Septic Death, Siege (whose 1984 demo tape Drop Dead is the origin of the band's name), SSD, and Swans.
