Half Dead and Dynamite is an album by the Minnesota indie rock band Lifter Puller, released in 1997. The album was reissued in 2009.

Critical reception

City Pages wrote that singer Craig Finn "is a wry and bizarre punk poet, relating obscure tales of high-school depravity, boredom, and violence that unravel as teenage escape songs written from a semi-female perspective."
