Biography:

...The name alone is enough to stir up a reaction. When combined with the sounds and lyrics this group produces, DROP DEAD! aims to shake up the very foundation of the bourgeoise myth of the "rock band". Putting radical politics alongside strong drums beats and guitars riffs, DROP DEAD! creates a passionate atmosphere in which progressive and hopeful ideas are communicated, going against the sea in a conservative world where hopelessness and desperation, war and misery are law. In their live presentations, the energy that unfolds from scene creates feedback with the audience, singing and dancing each one of their youth hymns came songs, celebrating life and the right to live it...
