Dead Pioneers

Dead Pioneers are a Denver-based punk band led by multidisciplinary artist and vocalist Gregg Deal. Rooted in Deal’s work around Indigenous identity, resistance, history and contemporary political life, the band band pairs his sharp spoken-word delivery with urgent, increasingly expansive punk. Since their 2023 debut, Dead Pioneers have a built a reputation for confrontational, darkly funny, politically charged music. Dead Pioneers have released three records and toured extensively, including their sold out Bristol headline of 2026 and sharing stages with the likes of Pearl Jam, Propagandi and Pennywise. Their latest album, Wagon Burner, is their most dynamic yet!
