If there’s such a thing as a rock super group, The Dead Weather is sure to be regarded as one. Formed through a mix of talents coming from their former bands, The Dead Weather will never disappoint their fans due to the myriad of approaches they put on the plate. Currently comprised of Jack White, Dean Fertita, Alison Mosshart and Jack Lawrence, the quartet takes on almost all forms of rock and is sure to keep you at the edge of your seats whenever you see them perform.
They have gone as far as performing with a combination of blues, garage, psychedelic and alternative. The Dead Weather has been known to raise the bar of contemporary rock since 2009 and is prolific in releasing single after single as if they will never play again. The band humbly started and played live at Third Man Records’ headquarters in Nashville 6 years ago, and their trek to become known as one of the best rock bands of the New Age was set into motion.
Currently signed up with the musical outfit Third Man, The Dead Weather released three studio albums, all of which received sound reviews from critics and fans alike. Their debut album is entitled ‘Horeground’, which unexpectedly entered the US Billboard Hot 100 at the sixth spot carrying three of their most memorable songs: Hang You From the Heavens, No Hassle Night and Treat Me Like Your Mother.
After releasing their follow-up album entitled ‘Sea of Cowards’ in October 2009, the band became stronger and more relevant as a rock group, giving them better results on numerous charts all over the world. If you’re a Twilight Saga fan, then you’ve definitely heard their track ‘Rolling in a Burning Fire’ which is one of Eclipse’s official movie soundtracks. Their second album is also tagged as one of the thirty greatest albums of 2010, as per the famous music website, Rolling Stone.
Released this September, The Dead Weather managed to get their third album rolling entitled ‘Dodge and Burn’, which is already climbing up the charts just a few weeks after its release. Currently, the third album of The Dead Weather ranks within the Top 10 of the US Billboard Hot 100 and is known for their released tracks Buzzkill and I Feel Love.
The Dead Weather also came-up with a live album entitled ‘Live’ at Third Man Records West, which is managed by another well-known rock outfit Reprise, released in October 2009. Mosshart and White cited Captain Beefheart as their musical core, which is evident in some of the tracks written by the group.
Mosshart, known to be the band’s lead vocalist also gave thanks to artists like Janis Joplin and Patti Smith for molding her artistry and approach to singing. As a group, the quartet pointed to Sonic Youth’s way of singing which gave them direction in whatever it is that they are doing right now. Aside from the exposure of the band, The Dead Weather is also noted to be huge performers in music fests like the recently concluded Glastonbury Music Festival.
