Revenge of the surf guitar has arrived. Day of the Dead are a three piece outfit who create and perform spooky dessert and surf rock instrumentals. Formed in 2005 The Dead have performed with artists including The Stray Cats, Motorhead, The Living End and The Birds of Tokyo. Taking the haunting tremolo sounds of vintage spy movies, and the twisted tones from spaghetti western soundtracks, Day of the Dead infuse modern energy into a Frankenstein of surf guitar fury. These guys sound straight out of a Tarantino film we are yet to see, and play like killers on a mission.

"an evolutionary step forward in a genre that almost everyone on the planet loves." - Xpress magazine Febuary 2007
