Born/Dead is a dark, anarchist hardcore punk band that formed in late 2000 in Oakland, California with the rhythm Section, Bill Jackson and Wyatt Culbertson of the Long-time East Bay Punk band Chemical Imbalance and the guitarist from the short lived Santa Cruz, California band No Options. Born/Dead’s sound and lyrics are influenced by classic American Hardcore punk, UK peace punk and political Punk bands such as Crucifix and Aus-Rotten. In 2001 after mercilessly gigging in the San Francisco Bay Area, the band released their debut 5-song 7” EP “24 Hostages” as the first release on the Guitarists No Options record label which sold briskly leading the band to begin work on a full length record.
With initial tracks recorded, the band approached long time bay area crust and hardcore punk label, Prank Records who had released records by His Hero Is Gone, Guyana Punch Line, Antischism, Damad and others to do the record. The Nine-Song “Our Darkest Fears Now Haunt Us” was released in 2003 on LP/CD and featured a heavier sound than the debut. The LP’s release lead the band to its first major U.S. tour, followed quickly by a tour of Europe. Returning from Europe, the band recorded a side of a split LP with European tour mates Consume that was released on Germany’s Yellow Dog Records.
