The Dead Bolts with Cab Ellis

Chicago



The Dead Bolts. A true Rock band of the Modern Age, hailing from Chicago, IL. The Dead Bolts didn't come up through the industry - they earned every room they walked into.

Eddie Hennessy, John Rolence, James Ryan, Matt Paske, Tyler Hancock, and Pat Corbett - six guys from the South Side who built the kind of band that feels less like a music project and more like a crew you want to be around. Their live show reflects exactly that.

The kind of music that evokes Fontaines D.C., Local Natives, and early Kings of Leon. They've sold out rooms across Chicago, played Thalia Hall and Metro, and toured the entire country crammed in an SUV named Vancis with no crew and no safety net. Just a relentless belief in what they're doing.

Now with their third record on the way and the momentum of Beau Monde still carrying, The Dead Bolts are stepping into a bigger moment with everything that got them here still fully intact. Raw, loud, and absolutely worth the drive.
