3 Quarters Dead

  3 Quarters Dead is a hard rock / metal band from North Carolina consisting of Mark Alexander on guitar, Sam Rhodes on guitar, Jason Sain on vocals, Matt Staley on bass, and Allen Royal on drums and have been together since 1999.
  They have four songs on there facebook and they're all really good. They also have a cover of Stone Temple Pilots song Dead and Bloated. I was sort of skeptical about listening to the cover at first because STP is one of my favorite bands and I've heard people try to do covers of songs and completely butcher it. This was different though, they actually did a really good job at covering Dead and Bloated. Jason's voice is perfect for this song and songs alike. The instruments were also done amazingly. The drums have always been my favorite part of Dead and Bloated and they were captured perfectly in this cover.
  Their other songs are really good as well, I especially like Sometimes. It's really put together well and sounds amazing. Also, really fun to sing along to. Songs that make you want to sing along are the best songs. And Arsenic is one of those songs that get your adrenaline pumping, it's pretty heavy more than the others.
  3 Quarters Dead is all around a great band. They've been around as long as Avenged Sevenfold but have less recognition. That needs to change!
