Born on the south side of Chicago in 2018, The Dead Bolts cut their teeth as under aged college kids playing rowdy marathon sets in local Irish pubs before quickly building a reputation for their raw, high-energy performances.
In 2021, they released their debut album Pretty and Burnt Out, celebrating with a sold-out show at Schubas Tavern before hitting the road on what would become two years of sporadic DIY U.S. touring — first crammed into an SUV with a UHaul Trailer attached, and later their trusty tour van, “Vancis.”
Now, the band has leveled up with their second full length album Beau Monde, released this past January — followed by a string of packed shows across the U.S. This album was a bold new sound shaped in the studio with producer, Doug Malone of Jamdek Records in Chicago. Every track was written to stand alone as a single, pushing their Alt Rock/Post Punk identity into a modern space while staying true to their gritty Chicago roots.

The Dead Bolts. A true Rock band of the Modern Age, hailing from Chicago, IL.
The Dead Bolts didn't come up through the industry - they earned every room they walked into. Eddie Hennessy, John Rolence, James Ryan, Matt Paske, Tyler Hancock, and Pat Corbett - six guys from the South Side who built the kind of band that feels less like a music project and more like a crew you want to be around. Their live show reflects exactly that. The kind of music that evokes Fontaines D.C., Local Natives, and early Kings of Leon.
They've sold out rooms across Chicago, played Thalia Hall and Metro, and toured the entire country crammed in an SUV named Vancis with no crew and no safety net. Just a relentless belief in what they're doing.
Now with their third record on the way and the momentum of Beau Monde still carrying, The Dead Bolts are stepping into a bigger moment with everything that got them here still fully intact. Raw, loud, and absolutely worth the drive.
