Description Vermont’s Dead Street Dreamer formed during the lockdown of 2021, these long time friends wanted to create a band that was a positive addition to their local punk rock scene. Taking influences from legendary underground bands like The Stooges, MC5, Black Flag and Minor Threat, the band set out to write songs about injustice, rebellion, struggling towns, love and heartbreak while making sure the audience had fun as well. When asked about the origin of the band’s name, vocalist Nathan Hale said, “We live in heavy times and still keep going. We are in a failing economy trying to survive every day. We are dreamers in a broken nation.”
