Interview with Dead Sara

Bringin' it Backwards

We had the pleasure of interviewing Dead Sara over Zoom video!
Dead Sara recently released their highly anticipated new album AIN’T IT TRAGIC, via Warner Records. This marks the first new full-length album from the Los Angeles rock legends since 2018’s Temporary Things Taking Up Space EP. The album’s eleven tracks were coproduced by Dead Sara’s drummer/programmer Sean Friday along with Noah Shain, who previously produced, mixed, and engineered the band’s previous two albums, Dead Sara (2012) and Pleasure To Meet You (2015).
To date, Dead Sara have released a pair of acclaimed tracks from AIN’T IT TRAGIC – “Hands Up” and “Heroes” – which have been critically praised as “explosive” by Loudwire and “raw and heavy” by Consequence of Sound. The current single “Heroes” has just impacted Rock Radio and is the #1 Most Added at the format this week.
Written and recorded during lockdown in their hometown, AIN’T IT TRAGIC reveals a band at the apex of their songwriting prowess and highlights the bands dual guitar assault courtesy of Emily Armstrong (vocals/guitar/songwriter) and Siouxsie Medley (guitars/backing vocals) along with the masterful drumming by the album co-producer Sean Friday. Track for track, AIN’T IT TRAGIC bursts with intense yet melodic verses/choruses throughout and doused with copious amounts of the feral energy and attitude that define Dead Sara both on record and on-stage.

About Dead Sara: Emily Armstrong (vocalist/guitars/songs), Siouxsie Medley (guitars/backing vocals), Sean Friday (drummer/programmer/co-producer) first broke through with their 2012 single "Weatherman"—a churning stew of punky riffs, with chugging hard rock grooves, and throat-shredding vocals that reached No. 30 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart and was followed by tour dates supporting Muse. "Hands Up" was the first new music from Dead Sara since September 2018, when the band released a stripped-down version of "Anybody," a single originally found on Temporary Things Taking Up Space. That EP built on the success of 2015’s Pleasure to Meet You, which reached No. 2 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart and No. 7 on the Hard Rock Albums chart. To date, Dead Sara has been featured on Rolling Stone, Interview, Guitar World, Loudwire, and more and performed at the GRAMMY Museum. Dead Sara is back in a big way. Look for Dead Sara to tour the world in 2021 & 2022
