Limerick, Ireland - That’s where!
We Should Be Dead are a two girl / two boy pop 4-piece tour de force, who have mastered the art of crafting catchy, hook-laden songs about love & betrayal, outer space, current affairs and anything else that captures their vivid imagination.
Just imagine, songs that stick to you like glue, from the first listen!… What a concept!
“The Dead” arose from a rapidly decaying music scene in 2003 when Limerick’s previously thriving underground venue, ‘The High Stool’ closed its doors. Unfazed by the sparse remains of a much acclaimed hot-spot for touring bands, Tara (Vocals / Synth), Anna (Guitar / Vocals), Stephen (Drums), and Gary (Bass) came together to inject new life into a then defunct scene. What started as a studio project between Stephen and Tara spawned an idea for a band unlike anything else at the time. The young foursome already had a strong background and experience in recording and live performance, so it wasn’t long before the scene; the largely dominated by Metal and Hardcore, took notice and hailed We Should Be Dead as a breath of fresh air.
In the midst of playing a string of shows around Ireland, the band began work on their debut album, recording 17 songs in ten days, 13 making the final cut.
