Dead Vixens — Lucius Man (guitar), Sarah Weiss (drums), Tiffany Rivera (vocals) and Bruce Macchione (bass) — formed back in 2021. Initially formed as a trio featuring Man, Weiss and Rivera, who originally joined as the bassist, Rivera assumed vocal duties as a result of her background as a classically trained singer after about a year of writing material. In 2022, the band met Macchione and the band’s sound and thematic concerns evolved into the politically-driven, social punk band with distorted guitars, hard-hitting rhythms and powerhouse vocals they’re known for now.
The band’s debut EP DANGER! RESET! serves as an introduction to the band. Three of the EP’s songs were written by the band’s founding trio and represent the band’s early sound before Macchione joined the band, and that portion of the EP are much more prog rock influenced. Macchione brought in more punk-leaning influences which will reportedly be reflected in future releases, including their forthcoming full-length debut. But in the meantime, DANGER! RESET!‘s latest single “Corroded Love” is a swaggering, arena rock ripper that recalls Foo Fighters, Tigercub and Amyl and The Sniffers, among a lengthy list of others, delivered with an effortless self-assuredness.
