Biography

The Ohio four-piece Dead Poetic defines their own punk style fitted for the new millennium. Brandon Rike (vocals), Zach Miles (guitar), Josh Shellabarger (drums), and Chad Shellabarger (bass) formed Dead Poetic in 1997 and found themselves following the word of God inside their own rock presentation. Tooth & Nail took a liking to them in fall 2000 after the band played and pushed their name at the Cornerstone 2000 Festival. A year later, Dead Poetic struck a deal and landed studio time with Barry Poynter (The Juliana Theory, Furthermore) at Poynter Studio in Little Rock, AK. The fruit of those sessions resulted in Dead Poetic's debut album, Four Wall Blackmail, in spring 2002. New Medicines appeared in 2004, after which the group basically self-destructed. But Dead Poetic would soon be reborn with only Riké and Miles carrying over. Rounding them out were drummer Jesse Sprinkle (formerly of Demon Hunter, Poor Old Lu) and Beloved alums, guitarist Dusty Redmon and bassist John Brehm. Working with the production team of Chino Moreno (Deftones) and Aaron Sprinkle (Jesse's brother), the rock-inspired Vices surfaced on Halloween 2006. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, Rovi

    Lyrics
    These are the words that tear you apart
    And these are the words that take you away
    And these are just words, they'll tear you apart
    When no one here will say what needs to say
    New medicines should ease this pain

    Lyrics
    You sure sold your soul for an ounce of attention
    Gaining the world and demanding affection
    Will you ever be pleased with your own skin?
    Will you ever refuse what they're asking?
    You can't hide your insecurities with a pretty face

    Lyrics
    Let it burn in your eyes, your cover is blown this time and you know
    But you know this was gonna happen and you could taste the red hands
    And like the flies, you'll eat the worst of everything
    But you know this was gonna happen, you could taste the red hands
    But you needed this

    Lyrics
    I don't wanna come back here, to this place
    It's a cold that only comes from blaming yourself for two decades wasted
    And I don't wanna come back here, to this place
    When it all just repeats in my head again and I cannot stop it
    And the glass in the trees

    Lyrics
    It's a deep, red wound, enough to stare
    It's a beautiful rose and everyone's aware
    You squeeze it tight enough to bleed
    But suicide's something we'd rather not mention here
    In our beautiful world of saving face
