Cincinnati · Ohio

One city. Four jerks. Thirty-nine toes.

Born out of the dusty, hardscrabble surroundings of a locksmith warehouse, The Deadbolts have evolved to rouse your 37 year old cousin out of their gaming chair and ever so slightly appall your grandma with a mix of 60s, 70s and indie rock. You'll know some of the tunes but not all; then you'll ask us after the show about the ones you didn't know...right?
