History

Dead! comprised Alex Mountford, Sam Chappell, Sam Matlock, and Louis Matlock, of whom Matlock and Louis are the sons of Glen Matlock, the bassist for the Sex Pistols. Matlock told CM Kavanagh of The Edge that the band took its name from a folder he had compiled of songs he had made in case he was hit by a bus and the ! was added as the band were fans of Dangerous!. The band's members are from the Isle of Wight but formed a band in 2012 while at Southampton Solent University, and played their first gig that year. They were Zane Lowe's "Next Big Hype" the year after. In 2014, the band released the EP "Tu Me Manques".
