Dead Season Tickets

Can you imagine an unsigned band outselling bands on major labels? DEAD SEASON has done it w/ their latest album "When Everything's Lost...". It finished 5th in the top 10 overall cd sales at Maine's major music retail chain (Bullmoose Music) finishing 4 spots behind Metallica's "Death Magnetic" and beating out Disturbed's "Indestructible" as well as the latest releases from Lil' Wayne and Radiohead. The album also charted 6 times on the Billboard Top Heatseeker's chart. Amazing feats for a band that has done it all by themselves w/ out the help of a record label! DEAD SEASON's music is best described by the five "I's": Integrity, Intensity, Inspiration, Intelligence, and Innovation. Music w/ real meaning seems rare these days and DEAD SEASON is trying their damndest to fill that void. The band was formed by brothers Matt and Ian Truman in 2003. After playing covers for a year they began writing their own songs. They released their first ep titled "Down Again" in 2004 and went on to win the 105.1 WTOS Battle of the Bands giving them major rotation airplay on the station for a year. They released a second ep in 2005 titled "The Fight" and won the WTOS Battle again. Drummer Andy Hackett joined the band in 2006 and DEAD SEASON's first full length album titled "Rise" was released. The band won the WTOS Battle for the third straight year and caused the station to force them to retire from the competition since they had won it 3 times in a row and it was no longer fair for the band to compete. Their remake of Garth Brook's "The Thunder Rolls" which was included on "Rise" quickly became the most requested song on WTOS and has given the band some national notoriety. Bassist Steve Church joined the band in 2007 and the band collectively wrote the latest album "When Everything's Lost..." which was released May 2008. The album charted 6 times on the Billboard Top Heatseeker's chart and was 5 in the top 10 overall (including major label artists) and 1 in local cd sales in Maine (including national artists). The previous album "Rise" landed at 2 in local cd sales which is amazing considering it was released in 2006! 94.3 WCYY-FM ( Portland , ME ) added singles "Never Decide" and "You Keep Me Alive" into regular rotation in 2008 and has added a third single "Cancer" into rotation at the start of 2009. DEAD SEASON has shared the stage with the following national bands: Quiet Riot, Buckcherry, Saliva, Nonpoint, Lacuna Coil, Hatebreed, Black Stone Cherry, Powerman 5000, Mushroomhead, HED pe, God Forbid, Bleeding Through, Skindred.
