"Seattle's Dead Bars weave a raw yet melodic tapestry within the realm of Punk Rock. Their sound combines a bruised, romantic tunefulness that resonates deeply, drawing inspiration from the legacy of punk classicists over the decades" — Stereogum.

Consisting of John Maiello, C.J. Frederick, Jon Oddo, Elliot Thordarson, and Rosie Gonce, Dead Bars has captured the attention of critics. Razorcake aptly notes that this band "makes something impossible to duplicate look so simple and attainable," highlighting their unique artistry.

For more than ten years, Dead Bars has been delivering life-affirming hard rock with a remarkable finesse akin to renowned acts like Japandroids, White Reaper, and Fucked Up. Throughout their journey, they have garnered national recognition while establishing themselves as a beloved local fixture, the kind of band you’d eagerly anticipate seeing sweat it out on stage any night of the week.

Their latest album, *All Dead Bars Go To Heaven*, serves as a testament to their craft and spirit. The Seattle Times proclaims that there's "arguably no better Seattle band," echoing the sentiment of many fans and critics alike. This much-anticipated record is set to release on March 21 through Iodine Recordings, promising to deliver the invigorating sound that has defined the band's enduring legacy.

The album features a powerful collection of 10 infectious tracks that promise to resonate with listeners, starting with the exhilarating opener "I Wanna Be A Ghost" and culminating with the soaring anthem "Be Me." This musical journey marks a significant new chapter, serving as a vibrant reintroduction for a fresh generation eager to break free from the monotony of everyday life, while simultaneously invoking nostalgia for those who remember the band’s impactful legacy. The overarching theme revolves around the concept of heaven—a serene haven symbolizing eternal reward for a life lived with integrity and purpose, no matter the heartaches or joys that have shaped it. When the band passionately declares "Dead Bars Forever," they wholeheartedly embody that sentiment, echoing a commitment that resonates throughout the album.

I found myself immersed in the raw energy of grindcore and the anthemic spirit of Chumbawamba while crafting this song," Maiello shares, his voice filled with nostalgia. "During that time, I let my hair grow long, embodying the rebellious spirit of the music. I was employed at a vibrant metal venue and bar in Seattle, a hub for fervent music lovers. Surprisingly, the metalheads there were incredibly welcoming, fostering an atmosphere of solidarity and support. This song serves as a heartfelt tribute to the power of kindness, the importance of believing in one another, and the unexpected sense of community that can flourish in the most unlikely of places.
