Interview with Consider Me Dead at their stop in San Francisco

April 23, 2014

Consider Me Dead have been getting quite a lot of attention on their latest release, Young at Heart. The album introduces a new style of genre which is quickly gaining in popularity; electronic rock.

The album takes this band to a new level and will have all of their fans nodding in agreement.  Brandon Pettitt says, “It’s a side of CMD that you’ve never heard before” and Chris Brewington adds, “We tried to create something nobody has ever done before.” We were able to catch up with the guys at their stop in San Francisco at the DNA Lounge for the “We Own The Night Tour”.
