The Dead Bolts with Cab Ellis

If your playlist needs a shot of adrenaline and your weekend lacks the thrill of reckless spontaneity, look no further than The Dead Bolts with Cab Ellis. This Chicago six-piece is the embodiment of gritty rock ‘n’ roll spirit, the kind you’d expect from a band that built their legacy in sold-out dives and cramped SUV tours. Imagine the raw intensity of Fontaines D.C. colliding with the anthemic allure of early Kings of Leon—if that doesn’t pique your interest, I’m not sure what will. With their third record on the horizon, The Dead Bolts are primed to grab 2023 by the horns, and their live show is your front-row ticket to the ride. Catch them now before the rest of the world wakes up and you’re left saying you only heard about them when they were cool.
