History
Get Dead released their debut album Bad News in 2013 on Fat Wreck Chords.[3]
Their second full length album for Fat Wreck Chords, Honesty Lives Elsewhere, was released in 2016[3] and featured guest appearances by members of label-mate bands Lagwagon, toyGuitar and Old Man Markley.[4]
In early 2019 the band revealed that they were recording their first album since 2016.[5]
Anarchist art collective Indecline used a Get Dead cover of "I Wanna Be Your Dog" by The Stooges[6] for their project entitled "Hate Breed"[1] which was described by Rolling Stone as "20 white men donned T-shirts, MAGA hats and custom collars and were paraded down the Hollywood Walk of Fame by people of color and members of the queer community."[1]
