Biography

Dearly Departed was a Midwest Active Rock/Metalcore band made up of Jesse Pabody on vocals, Deven Jason on guitar, Alex Nikolas on guitar, Hunter Bring on bass, and Jordan Rasmussen on drums. They are heavily inspired by bands that ignore their genre's limits and have released songs all the way from melodic hard rock with catchy vocal melodies that'll get stuck in your head to crushing metalcore with intense story and internal conflict that's still appealing to the average listener. Think Silverstein or @Architects meets @Breaking Benjamin; Minnesota quintet that makes up Dearly Departed, brings an intense live show, crowd pleasing riffs, and relatable vocals. In their region, they have established themselves as one of the best up and coming hard rock acts, drawing hundreds of people in their local market along with interest and radio play on clear channel radio Q105.1 in Fargo, ND and 93X in Minneapolis, MN almost immediately after their debut in 2018. 
 Dearly Departed worked with producers Joshua Barber (The Devil Wears Prada , Norma Jean ) and Jeremy Schaeffer (Through Fire , Earth Groans ) on their anticipated EP, ‘HEARTLESS’, a NOW via DI Records.
