Biography

Dead Bars formed in 2013 in Seattle, the pairing of John Maiello and C.J. Frederick driving a band that would evolve through collaborations with Jon Oddo and Elliot Thordarson. Their early work, including a self-titled release on No Idea Records in 2014, established a raw, unpolished punk ethos that would carry through their subsequent records. The lineup has shifted over the years, but the core energy remains intact: concise songs, gritty guitars, and lyrics that balance introspection with a punk-forward attitude.

Critical recognition has followed their progress, with features and premieres from outlets like Stereogum and Razorcake, and a Kerrang/Razorcake/Stereogum acknowledgment surrounding their All Dead Bars Go To Heaven material. The band continues to tour and release music that pushes the boundaries of their indie-punk roots while staying true to their direct, fan-friendly approach.
