Dead Cool
is a dark electronic duo from Wilmington, North Carolina, formed in 2020 by husband-and-wife team Johnny and Angela Yeagher. The pair, often called "everyone's goth BFFs," are known for blending sweet Southern charm with a spooky, high-energy stage presence.
Sound & Style: Their music is a moody fusion of darkwave, post-punk, and synth-pop. Rooted in punk rock, the duo evolved their sound during the pandemic by trading traditional guitar and bass for synthesizers and programmed beats.
Performance: They have become a staple in the dark alternative scene, performing at major events like Absolution Fest and Dark Castle Fest. Their live shows are atmospheric and visually striking, typically featuring heavy fog, moody lighting, and "catchy dark anthems".
Key Tracks: Recent releases include the single "Story of Another Life" (2025), alongside fan favorites like "Stranger Kind"and a dark cover of Real Life's "Send Me An Angel".
