Providence RI, United States (1990 – present)

Dropdead is an American crust punk band, formed in 1990 in Providence, Rhode Island. The band might be considered unique in that their sound draws heavy influence from d-beat, power violence, hardcore punk and grindcore, while their impassioned lyrics are in the tradition of peace punk. The band has been active in the hardcore punk scene since the early nineties. The guitarist, Ben, runs Armageddon Shop, a Providence record store, along with its record label Armageddon Label. Dropdead has proved to be highly influential to modern strains of hardcore and crust, having brought a level of brutality previously unknown in traditional hardcore and staying true to the DIY ethic throughout their extended career. The band’s songs are generally short and extremely fast-paced, with few of their songs lasting longer than one minute.

Members of Dropdead also play/played in Snake Apartment, I, Destroyer, Battlesnake, Straight To Hell, Ulcer, Monster X, The Fucking Fuzz, Lolita Black…

This stupid last.fm keeps turning my scrobbles into Dropdead instead of Drop Dead from Novi Sad.

Ever notice how every underground punk band's shoutbox consists mostly arguments about sub-genre definitions? I love the music, but ffs, some of the fans can really get annoying.

I would call what I heard crust, maybe different sounding albums, or I am a noob to this band?
