The Mostly Dead formed in April of 2008. In their first year of existence they have recorded with Brian McTernan (Battery) and Matt Smith (Strike Anywhere) at Salad Days Studio in Baltimore, played many shows with many bands in DC, Baltimore, and beyond, released two 7 inches (“Slightly” and “Alive” - Mighty Science Records), have been featured on Dissonance Radio (dc) The Future of Punk to Come Radio (dc) and Radio K (Minneapolis), and continue to redefine hardcore punk as they see fit, with little regard for long standing musical conventions.
"there’s that bit of straight rock and roll swagger coursing through their veins, but the songs are still enmeshed in a fine coating of venom." - Keith Rosson - Razorcake.com
"I LOVE this record! The Mostly Dead play straight forward kick ass rock n roll in a no less than explosive manner... The Mostly Dead do nothing to hide their hardcore roots, but definitely take things a step further without falling into the “post hardcore” trap... songs that are interesting and breathtakingly urgent at the same time... you will be flipping it all night long." Chris Mattern - www.JerseyBeat.com
For "Slightly" & "Alive":
"fast and aggressive... a sharp, focused listen. ...a solid 11-song collection of songs." 3/5 stars - Brian Shultz - punknews.org
"sounds like a mixture of every classic punk band along with two parts shredding metal band and one part scream-fest all kept together in a burlap sack... fantastic songs" - Will Hewitt - PoliRock.com
"Flat out tough... Their debut seven inches confirm their talent... The recordings are tight, true post-hardcore, with composition that alternates between straight hardcore and more experimental arrangements" - Matt Stabley - NBC4.com
