From Vancouver, Canada, Dead Quiet's blazing jams are marked by soaring vocals, burbling organ, and crushing riffs, resurrecting the spirits of the hard rock and heavy metal titans of the late ’70s and early ’80s. There are traces of Deep Purple, Judas Priest, and Black Sabbath, among others, but Dead Quiet rocks with a prowess all its own.
Frontman Kevin Keegan found lyrical inspiration from his day job, working on the front lines of the opioid epidemic in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver. Keegan is flanked by guitarist Brock MacInnes (of Juno Award winners Anciients), newest member Mike Rosen on keyboards, and the rhythm section of bassist Mike Grossnickle and drummer Jason Dana.
Truth and Ruin was engineered and mixed by Jesse Gander (Japandroids, White Lung) at Rain City Recorders in Vancouver. It was mastered by Alan Douches (Mastodon, Chelsea Wolfe) at West West Side Music in Hudson Valley, NY.

"A sound so expansive that you start to astral project into some blissful neon universe... Heavily-riffed, organ-laced parts that pull you into the darkness of your own soul..."
–CVLT Nation
"Organ-laced heavy blues met with post-hardcore crush..."
–The Obelisk
"Dead Quiet make music saturated with respect for the hard rock and heavy metal titans of the late ’70s and early ’80s."
–New Noise
"A stoner rock powerhouse."
–Invisible Oranges
"Heavy rhythms and riffs coupled with organ playing that sounds straight out of the 70s... The focus is to just get in, slay, and get out while still being catchy enough to stick the melodies deep in the brain cavity."
–Nine Circles
