Hailing from Salinas, California, The Dead Cassettes are a five-piece alternative rock band crafting a sound that’s both emotionally charged and relentlessly alive.  Their music balances shadow and momentum—lush, gorgeous melodies colliding with high-energy arrangements and driving rhythms. On stage, The Dead Cassettes transform that tension into electric performances, pairing intensity with vulnerability and leaving space for moments that feel as intimate as they are explosive. It’s alternative rock with heart, darkness with lift, and songs designed to hit just as hard live as they do through headphones.
