3 Quarters Dead
North Wilksboro, NC
USA
3 Quarters Dead was formed back in 1999 with original members Kenny Wyatt
and Mark Alexander. After they returned from a tour with Mushroomhead, they
began recording their second full length CD with Steve Felton (Skinny) of
Mushroomhead. The vocalist at that time was Waylon Reavis who was
recruited by Mushroomhead to take the place of J-Mann (aka Jason Popson)
who had announced his departure from the band. After starting all over, they
finally found a vocalist that suited their style of music. Jason Sain started with
the band in late 2007. In 2008 they recorded “Between Angels & Demons”
with producer Jamie King of ‘Between The Buried & Me’, ‘The Human Abstract’
fame. In late 2009 they signed with indie label ‘Project Alpha Music’ and
released their latest effort “Once Upon This Broken Glass” in March, 2010.
The lead single, “The Unknown” is off of their new CD “Once Upon This
Broken Glass. It about loves someone who doesn’t love you back. This song
has many melodic sections to it. But when you hear the change ups which are
dynamic, it sets a tone of a story being told through 3 degrees of separation.
These three levels are clearly defined and portrayed beautifully by the talents
of these individuals. As the entire CD will demonstrate, 3 Quarters Dead have
developed into a focused talent with undeniable audience appeal. These
band members are learning every day about each other’s personality, their
individual talents and ultimately a combined talent. Each contributes their skill,
technique and history with every note they play. Their sound is unique
showing their audience their ability to tell a story the way a story should be
told. 3 Quarters Dead has toured with bands such as Avenged Sevenfold,
Mushroomhead and Dope. They played shows with Shinedown, Stuck Mojo,
Switched, Nothingface, Chimaira, Gwar, Shadows Fall and many others. Their
video for their single “The Unknown” was launched on MTV and Fuse and
placed on Fuse On Demand and on various websites such as clever.com,
revolver, spiketv and others. They also get regular airplay on 106.5 The End
in Charlotte, North Carolina and 100.3 The Buzz in Greensboro, North
Carolina, both being a Clearchannel Broadcasting station. They are currently
doing local shows. There is a possibility that they may have a show with
FasterPussycat which is still in the works. 3 Quarters Dead is currently
working with A & R Select in West Hollywood, Ca. for licensing, publishing, a
record deal and/or placement opportunities. For additional information, you
