Dead Rider Announces May Tour & Shares “Stop Motion” From The Raw Dents

Chicago-based Dead Rider is an expectation-defying rock band whose live show takes their uniquely gritty sound to unexpected heights. A confounding and delightful barrage that blends aggressive confrontation with layers of seduction, Dead Rider brings together former U.S. Maple guitarist Todd Rittmann (vocals, guitar, harmonica, drums), Andrea Faught (synth, vocals, horns), Noah Tabakin (saxophone, vocals, synth), Theo Katsaounis (drums) and Matt Espy (drums) to form a potent gang of sonic magicians. They’re taking their show on the road in early May, be sure to catch them live so you too can bask in their afterglow.

Dead Rider is also psyched to share “Stop Motion” from their forthcoming sophomore album The Raw Dents (out May 3 on Tizona). The heavy vocals and eerie aural textures create a darkly psychedelic experience that borders on being uncomfortably sexy. If you’re at work, listen at your own risk…
