Dead to Me is an American punk rock band from San Francisco, California, United States, founded by vocalist/guitarist Jack Dalrymple, drummer Brandon Pollack (both from the band One Man Army) and bassist/vocalist Chicken of Western Addiction. Early on, Pollack was replaced by Chicken's cousin Isa Anderson on drums and Nathan Grice joined as a second guitarist.
Shortly after the band's second release "Little Brother", Dalrymple left the band to focus on raising his newborn child and to make a full-time commitment as a member of the Swingin' Utters. Guitarist Nathan Grice took over Jack's vocal duties in his absence.[http://www.punknews.org/article/34635 "Dead to Me post "Modern Muse," no Jack on new album"] Punknews.org. July 31, 2009.
After touring and recording as a three-piece for about two years, guitarist Nathan Grice left the band. He was replaced by guitarist/vocalist Sam Johnson (of VRGNS, New Mexican Disaster Squad), and guitarist Ken Yamazaki, formerly of Enemy You and Western Addiction.[http://www.punknews.org/article/39741 "Dead To Me retools lineup, heads to Europe."] Punknews.org. September 9, 2010. In late 2014, the band tweeted that Jack Dalrymple had returned to the band, thus making the group a 5-piece. As of early 2015 the band entered the studio and pulled together songs that later formed I Wanna Die in Los Angeles (2016). This marked the first release of new music in five years, since Moscow Penny Ante.
In September 2024, a new unreleased song called "Don't Be Mad" was included as part of the "20 Years of Dreaming and Scheming" compilation published by Red Scare Industries.
