In the Summer of 2018, John, James, Matt (Benny), Tyler, and Eddie met as a band for the first time in a garage on the South Side of Chicago. They didn’t quite have a set name for the band, reliable equipment, or any kind of fan base at the time, but they managed to land a gig at a bar in their neighborhood. They decided to go by “The Dead Bolts” – derived from the name of a band that John and James were in as kids called “The Bolts”. That gig went well enough for them to book another one, so they stuck with the name, and the shows kept rolling. They spent that Summer playing covers of their favorite bands at local bars, street festivals, and clubs, capping it off by recording their first project – an EP of five original songs titled 'Part Time' – that was released later that fall after they had all returned to their respective colleges across the Midwest. Now, with everyone out of college, and a with a couple hundred hours of stage and studio time under their belt, the band has become a well polished act. Upon releasing their debut LP ‘Pretty and Burnt Out’ - co-produced, mixed, and mastered by engineer Mike Hagler (Engineer behind Wilco's Summerteeth and Mermaid Avenue) this past Fall on November 26th, 2021, they are setting out on their first tour.
