Dead Lucid

Pressure is a wild thing. It can crush and it can create. There are moments when we are forced into a corner, when we have to make a choice. Moments when we take a leap of faith – a decision to press forward with an impossible goal. DEAD LUCID has made the impossible an art. This is a band that, when passed over for opportunities, has learned to create their own. A band that formed only after booking their first gig – with only two weeks to create the songs they’d debut. One of those songs, ‘If You Don’t Mind’, continues to be a mesmerizing, unforgettable closer for their live gigs eight years later.

DEAD LUCID’s journey to finding their sound has been a trying one – wrought with lots of sweat, tears, and honesty. From their beginnings as a clear cut psych-rock band in the vein of Jimi Hendrix and early Tame Impala, to the dark and moody post-punk tracks influenced by the likes of Joy Division and Interpol on their second EP ‘Desolation’, to now seamlessly blending those influences into a style all their own, a sound simultaneously at home with Fontaines D.C., Iggy Pop, Gang of Four, and The Strokes. On their third EP entitled ‘Vision’ we finally see it all come together for this Chicago band with endless potential.
