// About //
Dining Dead is a Seattle-based music project. Dining Dead’s sound is full of rhythmic drive, bold unfolding solos, and layered, reverb-heavy vocals. Edgy and poetic songwriting paired with the band’s signature melodic, surf-rock inspired licks, energetic percussions, and booming bass lines create a dynamic wall of sound that invokes moody, melancholy feelings of nostalgia.
Dining Dead is currently in the studio working on their sophomore album to be released Fall 2024. Their second EP, Stranger Wages, was released in June of 2022, preceded by the band’s debut album, Medium Rare, released in February of 2021.

Sammy Skidmore – lead vocals, guitar
Emma Belmont – lead guitar
Bogie Pieper – drums, percussion
Shannon Barberry – bass
