Get Dead is an American punk rock band from San Francisco Bay Area, California.[1] They were formed in 2007 and were soon noticed by Fat Mike of NOFX and signed to his label, Fat Wreck Chords.[2]

History

Get Dead released Bad News in 2013, their debut album for Fat Wreck Chords.[3]

Their second full length album for Fat Wreck Chords, Honesty Lives Elsewhere, was released in 2016[3] and featured guest appearances by members of label-mate bands Lagwagon, toyGuitar and Old Man Markley.[4]

In early 2019 the band revealed that they were recording their first album since 2016.[5]

Anarchist art collective Indecline used a Get Dead cover of "I Wanna Be Your Dog" by The Stooges[6] for their project entitled "Hate Breed"[1] which was described by Rolling Stone as "20 white men donned T-shirts, MAGA hats and custom collars and were paraded down the Hollywood Walk of Fame by people of color and members of the queer community."[1]

In 2020 the band released Dancing With The Curse.
