Dead Rider Release New Video For “The Pointed Stick”; Embark On US Tour! The Raw Dents Out Now

DEAD RIDER RELEASE NEW VIDEO FOR “THE POINTED STICK”; EMBARK ON US TOUR!

THE RAW DENTS OUT NOW ON TIZONA RECORDS!

Chicago’s Dead Rider released their sonic behemoth The Raw Dents last Tuesday, following it up with a charged record release performance Friday night to a hometown crowd. It had everything: menacing glares, creepy smiles, guest horn section, fan guitar solos, encores. Now the band intend to take their lunacy on the road and make a whole new area code of babies cry each night as they embark on tour. Oh, did we mention that they premiered a video for their song “The Pointed Stick” on Impose Magazine as well? The video features Dead Rider in a dark, dingy basement with strange markings adorning their faces, something sinister afoot in the woods, and a Guitar Hero-esque solo at its apex. Come into the darkness, we promise you’ll be safe…

“Though there’s no shortage of rock bands making music that’s ugly, brutal, or weird, I haven’t heard anything this sinister in a long time.” – Peter Margasak, The Chicago Reader

“Dead Rider…manages to throw a more inclusive party than the skewed and skronky U.S. Maple ever did, despite maintaining some commitment to that group’s deconstructionist manifesto.” – Jake Austen, Time Out Chicago

“…angular and Ribot-esque guitar runs, pummeling synths and knee-buckling syncopation, all topped with Rittmann’s Bowie-on-acid stream of consciousness vocals.” – My Old Kentucky Blog
