Dead Smiling Pirates hail from Copenhagen, Denmark. They are a dynamic trio consisting of Kim Burmeister (vocals/guitars), Erik Aaberg (drums), and Lasse Hansen (bass). They pump out their alternative rock sound out one track after another keeping your attention and interest from start to finish. Kim began his musical voyage as a drummer then at the age of 15, he got his first guitar, and the drums began to collect dust. He has utilized the six-string as his main instrument for composing songs ever since. Kim’s sound is primarily punk rock and he uses that as a vehicle for his razor sharp sardonic point of view. Erik got an early start as a drummer playing in various bands, always keeping an open mind to new inroads of musical styles while developing a distinctive blues sound that remains detectable in his playing to this day. Erik has combined all of his years and efforts into a powerful style of playing that supports and compliments Dead Smiling Pirates hard driving sound. Lasse picked up a bass at age of 16 and never looked back. He fell in love with experimental music and played in many art-rock and reggae acts before he started playing bass with Dead Smiling Pirates. Lasse is the perfect match for Erik’s aggressive attacking style and he completes the other half of the rhythm section that Kim depends on for his brawny guitar riffs to take hold. Dead Smiling Pirates set sail on the musical oceans for a life of music piracy in the summer of 2005. The in-your-face power-trio plays catchy alternative rock with lots off tight breaks, trashy guitar riffs, and punk vocals to match their sound. They back it all up with attitude focusing on the irony of life, egoism, youth, work, ethics, and beyond. Dead Smiling Pirates exciting new release hit the shelves at CD Baby and various digital outlets through the indie distributor on New Years Eve. The album is produced by the former Metallica producer Flemming Rasmussen.
