Dropdead is a ba***** in the aggressive musical currents of hardcore punk and noise. Emerging from the vibrant DIY scene in Providence, Rhode Island, the band formed in 1991 and quickly gained a reputation for their unrelenting sonic assault and staunch political message. Pioneers in the powerviolence subgenre, Dropdead's lyrical themes confront societal issues such as animal rights, social justice, and anti-war sentiments, aligning them with a strong activist stance that is reflected both in their music and their off-stage ethos.

Their discography is a testament to a raw, uncompromising approach to music-making. Release highlights such as the "Self Titled 1993" album and the "Discography" volumes showcase the band's historical progression and consistent intensity. The "Dropdead 2020" album illustrates the band's capacity to maintain relevance and vigor in an evolving punk scene, proving that their message and their might remain as charged as in the early days. Notable split recordings with fellow punk and grindcore bands, alongside remaster reissues like the "Self Titled 1998 (2020 Remaster)," encapsulate the band's influence and the respect they command within underground circles. The band's commitment to their core principles and their relentless touring has earned them a dedicated following around the world, solidifying their status as icons of radical punk music.
