Dead Poetic was a Christian rock band hailing from Akron/Canton, Ohio. The band first garnered attention in the underground music scene following the release of their first full-length Four Wall Blackmail which was released by Tooth & Nail subsidiary Solid State Records, and single “August Winterman.”
In the fall of 2004 personal disagreements within the band caused bassist Chad Shellabarger, drummer Josh Shellabarger, and guitarist Todd Osborn to all depart the band, and Dead Poetic appeared to be a thing of the past. But remaining members Brandon Rike (vocals) and Zach Miles (guitar) began playing with accomplished drummer Jesse Sprinkle (formerly of Poor Old Lu and Demon Hunter; also the brother of Aaron Sprinkle) and their passion for music reignited. Beloved alums Dusty Redmon (guitar) and John Brehm (bass) came on board to round out the new, revamped version of Dead Poetic. Although Vices contains traces of the Emo sound, it is much less heavily weighted than either of their last two albums.
For their third album, Vices, the band once again enlisted Aaron Sprinkle to produce the album, but this time, the band eschewed, for the most part, the screaming that had been one of the hallmarks of their earlier style.
Shortly before the release of Vices, lead singer Brandon Rike left the band. This was the trigger to the break up of Dead Poetic. Guitarist Dusty Redmon confirmed the band’s disbanding on absolutepunk.net in September 2007:
