Award nominations, heavy radio rotation, glowing press reviews, numerous TV appearances, and a 'must see' live status are just some of the accolades this Irish boy/girl four-piece have achieved since exploding onto the music scene in 2007.
The bands debut single 'Forget Romance Let's Dance!' made a huge impact on its release in November 2007, landing at number 3 in the Irish download charts, with the promo video being one of the most requested on popular Irish music channels.
The single was A-Listed on all the major Irish radio stations, and gained huge exposure on BBC Radio 1 in the UK.
The bands debut album was released on February 1st 2008 in Ireland to critical acclaim.
Upon the release of the second single 'I Fell In Love With You,' the band were invited to play at Liverpool's infamous Cavern Club, where many hailed them as the highlight of the week at the 2008 IPO Festival
.
The band also graced the red carpet at Ireland's annual Meteor Music Awards, where they were nominated as “Best Newcomers”.
The third single from 'We Should Be Deads' highly acclaimed debut album 'Zero Point Five' was a surefire summer pop hit, and sky-rocketed the bands popularity. 'Zero Point Five' is a blissful, energetic and sassy tale of the ' Girl meets boy, boy is a silly bastard' scenario, that details the not so idealistic one night stand experience, which is all too familiar in modern culture.
We Should Be Dead garnered a highly credible international fanbase when their debut album became a blogosphere phenomenon upon its release. This has led to a massive i-tunes sales increase in Portugal, Spain, Brazil, Scandanavia and Australia. The band were also surprised to find themselves as 'featured artists' on the front page of Myspace Brazil.
In August this year, We Should Be Dead headed out on their first US West coast tour where they were blown away by the response to their live shows. Many who hadn't previously heard of the band and many who's tastes lay elsewhere, were enthralled by the bands energetic and thrilling live performances.
As part of the bands US success they are being being championed by one of the biggest DJs in Hollywood, none other than KROQ's Rodney Bingenheimer. The life of Rodney Bingenheimer was potrayed in the movie 'The Mayor Of Sunset Strip'. Bingenheimer was responsible for breaking acts stateside like the B52's, Blondie, The White Stripes, Coldplay, Oasis, No doubt and David Bowie to name but a few. The band were thrilled to be invited for lunch by Bingenheimer on a recent trip to LA where they really hit it off.
The band are currently in the US where they are about to begin work on their highly anticipated second album, with legendary Producer and Sorrows front-man Arthur Alexander. The band will be based in The US for all of 2009 with touring and promotional work. The excitement is building....
HOT PRESS
"These are highly accesible, superbly structured songs played by a band
which has clearly been studying how to deploy catchy winding melodies" 8/10
NEWS OF THE WORLD
"This is not an album for chin-strokers. It's honest and un-pretentious,
13 high-energy, highly infectious songs, mostly tales of love, betrayal and drunken dates"
ROAD RECORDS
"The debut album from this new limerick based four piece outfit.
This is a very catchy slice of old style rock n roll sounding like some blend of
motown pop meets The Ramones.
Try to imagine Blondie singing on the famous Phil spector produced
Ramones album with much more added gritty pop elements.
A truly infectiously catchy debut record with plenty of three minute bubble gum hits
to keep both fans of sixties garage pop to seventies pop punk more than happy.
It's full of big rock fuzzed up guitar chords and some truly superb vocal
harmonies. Could be one of the underground hits of the summer".
ENTERTAINMENT.IE
"When all is said and done, though, We Should Be Dead aren't lying;
if nothing else, you'll want to dance your arse off to practically every song
on this fizzy, frothy gem of an album" 4/5
REDTRACKMUSIC.COM
"This two boy, two girl combo are a tight, cohesive unit who write excellent pop/ rock songs
brimming with attitude, hooks and most importantly these tunes extremely danceable! "
MP3HUGGER.COM / THE HYPE MACHINE
"Chugging chords, elastic beats and a sweet vocal (I'm hearing Tracyanne Campbell of Camera Obscura)
turns what could have been an admirable pastiche into something that could yet shatter a lot of hearts
(and not necessarily just the ones made of glass)."
IAN DEMPSEY, TODAY FM
"Great new sound for 2008"
DAN HEGARTY, 2FM

"When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds. Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be." - Patanjali
