Drop Dead, Gorgeous is an American post-hardcore band that originated from the suburbs of Denver, Colorado. Formed in 2004, the band made a significant impact on the post-hardcore scene with their intense and dramatic style of music, characterized by heavy guitar riffs, fervent screams, and complex rhythms. They quickly carved a niche for themselves with the release of their first studio album, "In Vogue," in 2006 followed by an EP, "Be Mine, Valentine," in 2007. Their sound was both aggressive and theatrical, capturing the angst and energy of the era's scene.

The band continued to build momentum and a dedicated fanbase with their subsequent releases, "Worse Than A Fairy Tale" in 2007 and "The Hot N' Heavy" in 2009. Drop Dead, Gorgeous was known for their captivating live performances and the raw, emotive lyricism that often explored dark and personal themes. Despite their success, the band decided to go on hiatus in the early 2010s, leaving a legacy of influence among post-hardcore and metalcore bands. With tracks like "They'll Never Get Me (Word With You)" showcasing their signature sound, Drop Dead, Gorgeous remains a cherished name for die-hard fans of the genre, representing an era when screamo and post-hardcore music was at its peak of innovation and expression.
