Los Angeles-Bred Dead Posey has punctured her proverbial vicious vein by serenading a posse of devoted followers with fuzz-guitar infused rock-and-roll and edgy yet timeless sounding vocals that pack an anti-establishment punch. When Dead Posey (AKA Danyell Souza) and her creative partner Tony F. (Guitarist/Multi-Instrumentalist/Producer) met, they quickly tapped into an undeniable chemistry that led them down a cathartic path of creating bold hard rock sounds riddled with unsettling lyrical themes ranging from sexism, depression, angst and rage against oppressive systems - all doused with a healthy dose of "DGAF" attitude yet still seeing the beauty within the madness.

In 2018, Dead Posey sunk her venomous fangs into the scene with the debut EP "Freak Show" (featuring standout track "Don't Stop The Devil"), garnering over 32 million combined streams and numerous spots in film, TV & video games. This was followed by the darker and more industrial-tinged malfunction EP in 2020. The following year brought the start of a new era of Dead Posey with the release of multiple singles en route toward a debut full length album. The first two singles, "Russian Roulette" and "sorry i'm not dead," quickly claimed support among rock tastemakers. The adrenaline-inducing rockers were both listed on Loudwire's Best Rock + Metal Songs (of August and November 2021, respectively), the latter being praised for its "industral-leaning rock...with edgy, badass attitude." Music programmers also took a liking as the tunes were added to key rock playlists including Spotify's "Rock Hard," "New Noise," & "All New Rock," and Apple's "Breaking Hard Rock" & "New in Rock." Dead Posey's most recent singles include "Can't Take Me Down" which made its way onto Kerrang! Radio show - Fresh Blooded hosted by Alex Baker where Dead Posey became the featured artist of the week. Kerrang! Radio's Sophie K also chose her for the New Music You Have to Hear Now feature. Dead Posey also released a cover of the classic new wave banger "Blue Monday," mixing elements of New Order's 80's original and Orgy's harder 90's version and now a staple on Apple Music's "Heavy Covers" playlist.

Feeding a monstrous appetite for live performance, Dead Posey has unfurled her punk-infused high-octane shows at notable festivals such as Download (UK), Louder Than Life, Aftershock, and ShipRocked. Joined on stage by collaborator Tony F as a fearsome 6-string wielder, Dead Posey has played illustrious venues such as Rock City and Electric Ballroom in the UK, Gramercy Theater in NYC and The Metro in Chicago, touring with bands such as Theory of a Deadman, BRKN LOVE, Palaye Royale, Bones UK, The Birthday Massacre, Through Fire and more.

Dead Posey's music has been a fixture in TV spots such as Fox's Lucifer, MTV's Teen Wolf, Marvel's Cloak & Dagger, Syfy's Wynona Earp and Netflix's Jack Whitehall - Travels with My Father among others, as well as in ads for Taco Bell, Sony Playstation, Riot Games' League of Legends, Back 4 Blood, and many more. Dead Posey has additionally received positive mentions from the likes of The Huffington Post, Spin and Guitar World Magazine.

Like a vampire craving blood, Dead Posey's hunger for unapologetic creative expression is deeply intensifying. Dead Posey has steadily begun to uncage many years' work of titillating and provocative sounds into the speakers of hardcore musical pariahs and grungey sound-systems abound. Meanwhile the ever-growing cult of Dead Posey anxiously await the debut full-length album in 2023. [ less ]
