Dear Landlord

Dear Landlord were a punk rock band from Carbondale, Illinois. Bordering on super-group status with members of Illinois power-pop masterminds the Copyrights- Adam (bass/vocals) and Brett (guitar/vocals), and Minneapolis Weasel-worshippers Rivethead - Brad (drums/lyrics) and Zack (guitar/vocals) they carry the torch high, burning brightest when they step to the mic together for anthemic choruses cut by snotty leads and broken wrists flying at breakneck speeds.

In 2007, Dear Landlord released split singles with both Chinese Telephones and Off With Their Heads. Their 2009 No Idea Records release "Dream Homes" is reminiscent of holding a conch shell up to your ear to hear the ocean, if that conch shell was an empty 40 oz. bottle found surveying the remnants of last nights' blackout.
