Raspy punk rock has a very important place in every punk rocker’s heart. Dead Bars seem to occupy that space. Formed in 2013 and hailing from New Jersey, Dead Bars are not only raw, grungy, bloodied and ragged, but they seem to also have a surprisingly talent for melody. They could easily be confused with most bands on the Fat Wreck Chords punk label. The band just released two new tracks via No Idea Records, one called ‘Los Marineros,’ which will appear on their self-titled EP and one called ‘Just Fine’ that will appear on a split with Sunshine State. You can listen to the latter below. – Michael Haskoor (@Tweetskoor)
