DEAD BOB ON US TOUR IN MAY/JUNE 2024
DEBUT ALBUM, 'LIFE LIKE', OUT NOW – LISTEN / PURCHASE HERE
John Wright, formerly of renowned, retired Canadian punk rock band No Means No, released his debut solo album as Dead Bob in April 2023, much to the delight of hungry fans around the globe. Fans who were definitely not disappointed. "Life Like" is predictably unpredictable but touches on familiar themes, sounds, and of course stays true to the sheer intensity that Wright is known for! The album was self-released via Wrong Records and is available now to purchase on BandCamp and / or stream on all streaming platforms.
The band will be taking the new music to various stages this November / December and the inaugural shows will all take place in Wright's home province of British Columbia. It is by no means a small feat to restart the engines, but he hasn't had to do it alone! For the tour, Wright has teamed up with a talented roster of friends including Byron Slack (Invasives), Ford Pier (Ford Pier and the Vengeance Trio, DOA, Roots Roundup, Junior Gone Wild, Rheostatics), Kristy Lee Audette (Rong) and Colin MacRae (Pigment Vehicle), who are all thrilled to be helping bring Dead Bob back to life.

ABOUT DEAD BOB:
Dead Bob is the solo incarnation of John Wright, drummer of long time and apparently legendary, but now retired, Canadian punk band No Means No (NMN). Wright has spent 50 years drumming, 45 years songwriting, 30 years touring, three years helping robots play punk rock, 30 years brewing, and a lifetime playing music – in more bands than you can count on one hand.
Currently practicing drums, working on the next two albums and having a beer, Wright is not planning on slowing down any time soon. The material on "Life Like” spans decades and there's lots more in the vault. The album was recorded and produced by Wright in the wilds of British Columbia and while he primarily wrote and performed it himself, he can't take all of the credit, having engaged the help of several friends inclding Byron Slack (Invasives), Kristy Lee Audette (Rong), Ford Pier (Ford Pier and the Vengeance Trio, DOA, Roots Round up, Junior Gone Wild, Rheostatics), Selina Martin, his son Aidan Wright, as well as two old collaborations with his brother Rob in the writer’s chair.
As might be expected, the songs roll out cohesively but defy the cookie cutter pigeon holes, hence "Genre" is a tough one to convey but one thing that is not unclear is it is not to be listened to quietly! We aim to make sure you hear it all good and loud!
