CAVEMEN BANGING ON CORPSES WITH HUMAN SKULLS!!

About Me

"..the duo plays weighty epics and in an age of three-four-minute grab-and-go tunes in most bands arsenals......DC's hefty Neurosis/Sabbath/Botch influenced brawn requires that you give the band your full attention so that you can fully absorb how slot A fits neatly into slot W, then spirals back to match up with slot F and Q before everything lands squarely on the ground with a nerve shattering primal grunt.....Dead Commuter plays brainy but uncompromisingly visceral music and approaching it without an open mind (or the ability to comprehend its circuitious emotional journey) is not advised.."by Jedd Beaudoin -- Jan 12th Wichita F5********************************************************** ************************************************************ ********Formed in September of '05, Dead Commuter are definitely a band that can't be pigeonholed as they have played shows with bands as varied and in no particular order as SAMOTHRACE, KETEA, BATTLEFIELDS, BLACK ELK, INTRONAUT, DESTROYER/DESTROYER, OPERATOR DEAD:POST ABANDONED, TOTIMOSHI, MINSK, AKIMBO, KYLESA, GENGHIS TRON, GAZA, APIARY, THE DESTRO, PORTALS, OL' SCRATCH, DAYWITHOUTDAWN, OPTIMUS CRIME, KANZASHI, UNIT 21, BIG FUCKING MISSLE CRISIS, EXIT THE KING, PB ARMY, BLACKLIGHT BARBARIAN, BRAINBOW, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, WEATHER IS HAPPENING, LOST HANDS FOUND FINGERS, SEABEAST, HUMANOID, RAISE THE RED LANTERN, CATHETER, SEA OF BONES, THE OLD BLACK, LETTERDAY, MATHEMATICIANS, HOTLANTA, THE ESOTERIC, THE IMPOSSIBLE SHAPES, ACROSS TUNDRAS, LANDMINE MARATHON, DAVAN, VENA AMORI, LETHE, BICLOPS, ECNALUBMA, INDIAN, SHORES OF THE TUNDRA, SKIN OF EARTH, BEAST IN THE FIELD, MILLIGRAM SMILE, QUINN KEON, CLOUD BURIAL, CARGO CULT REVIVAL, KID VID, HACKMAN, STARSEWN & QUARTERED, TEEDO, MAXETTES, EL MINOTAUR, SWIMS, GRAVES AT SEA, SEE YOU NEXT TUESDAY, SCOUTS HONOR, ROSETTA, SUPERARGO, BABY BIRDS DON'T DRINK MILK, THE KYLIES, BURN IN SILENCE, MY LITTLE PONY, ALL PARALLELS, VINCENT BLACK SHADOW, FACEDOWNINSHIT, THE GREAT COLLAPSE, PIG SKEWER, BOWEL, JUDASCOW, THE FLOOD, SHORT HISTORIES OF POWERFUL NATIONS, MONARCS, FLEE THE CENTURY, IVORY TOWERS, SPIRIT OF RADIO, SAME SEX DICTATOR, MELENKY ROBOT, PARANAUT, GUYVE, AUTHOR AND PUNISHER, ARC OF THE AURORA, RAZE EARTH, ECOCIDE, FUMAR, JOR DAN, BEYOND ALL REASON, THE PEERLESS PRINCESS OF THE PLAINS, THE EMPRESS, A BREATH OF KEROSENE, PINHOLE SUNN, RONOSO, A SERPENTS WHISPER, ELCTRIK CHAIR, SMILE AS I DIE, MISSING ZORI, MAYA, SPIRIT OF THE STAIRS, CONTINENT OF ASH, INFANDOUS, ASHA, FLOWER RIBBONS, ARMS FOR HANDS, MESA FALLS TO MEPHISTO, THE GUNNING SYSTEM, THUNDER LE BOOM, ENEMY OF LOGIC, 4 DEGREE TILT, CONTACT, MARCATO, FACING FAREWELL, ZACK HEXUM, THE CUPS, AUDITY FAIR, DISKREET, MALAKAI, ANGELS AMONG US, THE ART OF ABANDONMENT, NO TOMORROW, EVISCERATE, KNIFEWOUND, GULCH, J.A.N.E.T., HEARTS IN BONDAGE, SEPTINOMICON, MONSTERS IN THE BASEMENT, THE TRAVESTY, WHEN IT RAINS, DEATH AND FLOWERS, BAIOWOLF, THE TERRIBLE AIRPLANE, LOW ORIOLE, RAPTORKILL!?, ALLISON RESEARCH, INJEKTILO, ORDER 66, LOS CRAPTACULARES, THE SACRED HAVE FALLEN, KILL THAT KID, T.G.CID, APATHY, WHALE, CATALYST, VIOLENT PRIDE, SELF INFLICTED, CYMBIANCE, BAD NAVIGATOR, THE ARMOR AGENDA, MARC RIZZO, TRUE ILLUSION, TERROR TRACTOR and NOW SOON NOWHERE....come check us out.
