'PO$T AMERICAN' is the second full-length album by Dead Pioneers. It's music that speaks to \u0026amp; for this precise time. It is an album for now. Dead Pioneers emerged as a dynamic extension of vocalist Gregg Deal's performance art, seamlessly blending music with critical cultural commentary. Rooted in the same themes of identity and resistance that define his visual work, the band's sound acts as a powerful platform for addressing the complexities of Indigenous experience. 'PO$T AMERICAN' is the band's second full-length album. Written in February and recorded in July, it preempts the 2024 American election but wraps up the fears and frustrations as eloquently and, crucially, humorously as the band's 2023 self-titled debut.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hassle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47583301927130,"sku":"5060626468566","price":44.76,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/7787\/3626\/files\/POTAMERICANCRYSTALCLEARVINYL_zol35x.jpg?v=1770966065"},{"product_id":"dead-pioneers-po-t-american-cd","title":"Dead Pioneers – Po$T American CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom Dead Pioneers comes Po$T American, a punk album on Hassle.

This is the CD edition. This edition was released on August 8, 2025.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe self-titled debut album from Dead Pioneers, the punk band formed by Indigenous American artist and activist Gregg Deal. Who were the first punks? Do The Damned have more of a shout than The Sex Pistols? The Stooges or Ramones? Gregg Deal, the acclaimed visual and performance artist behind his new project Dead Pioneers, is making a claim that Indigenous Americans were the first real punks. Gregg Deal is an artist and activist and a member of the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe. Much of his work includes exhaustive critiques of American colonialism, society, politics, popular culture and history. The band is made up of guitarists Josh Rivera and Abe Brennan, drummer Shane Zweygardt and bassist Lee Tesche (who is also lead guitarist for Algiers), with Deal on vocals. Deal suggests that the overarching theme of the Dead Pioneers self-titled album is \"an introduction to the band itself.\" Created with a DIY disposition and the \"love of a scene that saves lives\", they reel off a roll call of marginalised groups and protected characteristics: \"Indigenous rights, Black rights, Brown rights, Asian rights, Gay rights, Trans rights, Workers rights and beyond...\". This is central to their identity and focus, saying that \"with a North American Indigenous person as the vocalist, being unapologetically upfront on the social, political and cultural side of things doesn't seem necessary, but paramount to the overall tone of the band.\" This self-titled debut, coming in at a lithe 22 minutes with only one of the twelve tracks exceeding three minutes, is almost over before it begins, but covers a huge amount of ground in that time. Musical touchstones are varied, ranging from Black Flag and The Minutemen via Suicidal Tendencies and Rage Against The Machine through to La Dispute or Idles. Thematically, as much as sonically, it channels the taut energy and directed rage of Fugazi or Henry Rollins at their peak. Regardless of who was really punk first, Dead Pioneers are here now, continuing to ask questions and stand up for the voiceless.

This edition was released on June 26, 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDead Pioneers, the Indigenous fronted punk-rock band from Denver CO, are preparing to unleash their fearsome third album 'Wagon Burner'. Dead Pioneers, the Indigenous fronted punk-rock band from Denver CO, are preparing to unleash their third album 'Wagon Burner', set for release on June 26th via Hassle Records. Dead Pioneers is rooted in a 2020 piece called The Punk Pan-Indian Romantic Comedy, a deeply personal work that dealt with vocalist Gregg Deal's cultural upbringing. Following an embryonic performance of the piece, Deal secured a grant to expand it to include music created especially for the work. A miraculous, natural chemistry made this supposed one-off project an actual band almost as soon as they cut what became their 2023 self-titled debut album. What followed was \"a series of strange accidents\" that led to the group signing to Hassle, befriending Jello Biafra and touring with kindred spirits like Pennywise, Propaghandi, even Pearl Jam. \"Punk-rock had made everything seem so accessible when I was a kid,\" says Deal. \"Like, simply having the balls to get up on stage and stage dive and then be carried off by people that become your best friends once they get your feet back on the ground.\"Now, punk-rock was reaching out its hands to Dead Pioneers and pulling them onto larger and larger stages. The group returned that favour by simply getting better and better: their second album, 2025's PO$T AMERICAN, was sharper, angrier, funnier than the debut, a riot riveted with punch-a-Nazi thrills. And now, Wagon Burner, their fearsome third album. Described by Deal as \"more collaborative\", it's a heavier, harder but also more accessible set, vicious hooks scattered among the punk-rock melee and guest appearances by kindred spirits Cheap Perfume (on the righteous 'Nazi Teeth'), The Interrupters (on the shout-a-long anthem 'Never Alone') and, bringing it back to the group's beginnings, Sleaford Mods (on the searing slow-burn of 'The Worst Among Us'). The world might be darkening by the day, but Dead Pioneers are rising to that miserable occasion, casting their empowering light into the gloom.
