Dead American

Dead American out of Southern California began as a project influenced by the desire to tap into the nostalgic sound of 2000s post-hardcore. The members – Cove Reber (vocals, previously of Saosin), Chad Rexton (guitar), Steven Ryan (guitar) and Kyle Rosa (drums) found themselves with songs that “sound like a band from an earlier time but with a modern twist”; thus, their debut full length album, ‘New Nostalgia,’ was born. You can hear the band’s pride and sense of ownership while listening to ‘New Nostalgia’, which the guys do not take for granted. Cove mentioned, “Every word on this record is ours; it’s no one else’s. I’ve never been able to say everything I need to say, and this record gave me an outlet to do it.” Chad added on, “Life sucks a lot of the time but there’s always some good to come from the shit. We’re all a lot more alike than we think. From the shit, you get this weird, beautiful art-thing that is this record. This is a celebration of all of us going through the shit. Anyone can get through it, so let’s be mad together. We’re all mad about the same shit.”
