Dead Solders is an American Roots based band from Memphis Tennessee with influences ranging from Rock, Soul, outlaw country, to bluegrass and experimetal music. From Stax to Sun to the delta and beyond, Dead Soldiers have carved out their own dark perspective on what it means to live and die in the American South. Songs about poverty, aging, mental illness, and institutionalized racism are just a few of the topics set them apart lyrically from what the world has come to expect from todays crop of soft handed "americana" artists. Musically the band draws influence from so many directions it's hard to pin any one down. The Band, Tom Waits, Willie Nelson, Randy Newman, Louvin Brothers are just a few of their heroes.

The band was formed in Memphis Tn, in 2011 and consists of core members Michael Jasud (Lead Vocals/Guitar) Benjamin Aviotti (Vocals/Banjo/Guitar) Clay Qualls (Vocals/Bass/Mandolin) Krista Wroten-Combest (Vocals/Violin/Keys) Nathan Raab (Guitar/Mandolin/Bass/Keys) and Paul Gilliam (Drums)

Though these are the core members they often employ the services of some of Memphis' finest talent for large scale performances.
