Dead To Me - Little Brother [EP]

The Golden Gate Bridge, Math Rock, Dave Eggers and his Staggering Work Of Heartbreaking Genius... I'm trying to get ideas about how to introduce The Bay Area punk rock band Dead To Me by listing the only thing I know about Northern California's hilliest...whoa did you know hilliness is a word? That's goofy. Back on track - It's a place I've never been, but have always wanted to visit. Instead of this whacked out semantic thinking, this picture exactly describes Dead to Me, to...um me. 

A night blurred from too many drunken sing a longs with your best friends in a night that is the precedent for every other drunken romp thereafter - almost impossible to top. 

The music is catchy, feeling like a best friend that you feel comfortable enough to put your arm around without hesitation, to look into their eyes and sing Bohemian Rhapsody all the way through without feeling the slightest bit subconscious of what other people think. A friend who you can text, without a plan and expect to have a good night just because of good company. Dead to Me, with this 13 minute EP, has created a work of genius in short - a snapshot of a night at the bar with too many shots! I love it and recommend it to anyone who wants to have a good time. Little Brother is a record you can put on at anytime and it'll put a smile on your face, guaranteed - as sure as one of your friends getting kicked out of the bar on a Thursday night for drunken tackling you, and you both laughing about it on the long walk home. 

The Bay Area punk rockers from the seminal Fat Wreck Chords produce another gruff gem with Little Brother. Clocking in at just 13 minutes, there's no excuse NOT to check out this 5 song from the guys that released Cuban Ballerina in 2006.
