  • Real Deal

    These two are the real deal who have been part of the scene via music journalism, gigging, interviewing, DJing, etc for years now, and it shows. They downright live the scene. Great vibes too. Their Twitch stuff is awesome as well, and catching their sets live or online are a guaranteed good time. It’s a social club for sure, but they’re also really awesome Chicago music scene ambassadors.

Drop Dead, Gorgeous on MySpace Gatekeeping, That Lost Skrillex Remix & AI Music
Q: How did Drop Dead Gorgeous develop their signature sound in 2006 and what were your influences?
Our sound came from a mix of personal influences across emo, screamo, and post-hardcore, with each member bringing distinct tastes. We blended melodic singing with heavier elements and learned to scream, driven by bands like Finch, The Used, and A Static Lullaby, while also incorporating more melodic and experimental touches as we evolved.
