Won't Stay Dead

Won't Stay Dead is a horror-themed pop punk band from Chicago, IL that blends catchy hooks and harmonies with macabre lyrics about murder and all things otherworldly. The band formed in 2017 in Chicago, IL and has been playing with the current lineup since late 2022. They have drawn comparisons to Alkaline Trio, The Bombpops, My Chemical Romance, and Veruca Salt.

In February 2023, the band worked with UK label We Are Horror Records to release the 3-track EP '3 Hits from Purgatory,' featuring outtakes from the 'Purgatory' recording sessions.
