Dead 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.
