Dead Pioneers, Yes Please

Dead Pioneers

Sometimes a band hits you right in the feels, … and the Denver, CO based band, Dead Pioneers, are one of those bands. It’s a similar feeling to what I felt when I first heard bands like the Clash, Gang of Four, X, Circle Jerks and the Minutemen. Dead Pioneers’ music and lyrics are so refreshing. In a world that has lost the ability to have honest dialog or discussion around real issues, Dead Pioneers are up to the task. Did I mention that I really dig this band? Buy their music and check out some of their videos after the turn. EPM “sibilance, sibilance” Out!

A couple of bands you may or may not have discovered but well worth a few minutes of your auditory attention. First up and now defunct, The Pulsars, a Chicago based sibling duo, Dave and Harry Trumfio have a sound that appeals to our upbeat robot sensibilities. Next up, is Brooklyn, NY’s Black Marble.
