Pretty Deadly

Pretty Deadly is a Dallas, Oregon-based punk rock trio born from what was supposed to be a one-off studio jam—but turned into something too fun to walk away from. Formed in early 2025, the band features Blaine (guitar/vocals), Travis (bass/vocals), and Zach (drums)—three longtime players with deep roots in the Pacific Northwest punk scene. Between them, they’ve logged time in bands like Drawback, Ninjas with Syringes, The Disliked, Faithless Saints, Burn the Stage, Lost City, and The Civies.

Pretty Deadly isn’t here to reinvent the wheel. They’re here to keep it loud, fast, and honest. Drawing from the golden age of ’90s and early 2000s punk—from SoCal skate punk to the grittier corners of Northwest alt-rock—their sound blends melody and grit, simplicity and sneer. There are no rules, just whatever hits in the moment. Sometimes that means channeling sad or pissed-off lyrics through a pop melody played at breakneck speed. Sometimes it leans darker and heavier. But it always stays true to the core: no stress, no filler, just three friends making noise they love.

Less is more. No bullshit. That’s Pretty Deadly.
