Dead, But Not Forgotten


Hello everyone. Welcome to Dead Bands, a blog with the intention to resurrect great music that was never able to reach the audiences that it rightfully deserved. I will regularly present bands that have been criminally underlooked over the past few decades. Some of these groups only attained fanbases in the hundreds during their existence, and yet had tremendous influence on the state of indie rock today. Due to lack of publicity, many of these musicians simply could not endure the lifestyle of the obscure artist. My hope is that formal introductions to these bands will keep them from going unnoticed. Although these bands are no longer together, if our generation can appreciate the posthumous music of Joy Division, the Pixies, and the Smiths, surely it can appreciate other bands that did not quite find the success that they needed to survive.
