From deep within the desert emerges deathdotgov, a multi-hyphenate, genre-renouncing group of musicians from Phoenix, AZ. The quartet consists of Coba Westerman (vocals), John Bacino (guitar), Dylan Ewing (guitar) and Meghan Herring (drums). Each member’s extensive experience with previous projects lends an element of chaos that- in the band’s own words- was always the goal.
Since their blistering first show in early 2023, deathdotgov has gone on to commit musical war crimes across Arizona in preparation for their first recorded release. Combining elements of math rock in its least traditional form and inspired by post punk and the weirdest, heaviest of breakdowns, the band’s first single “The Observer” puts every member’s talent in the spotlight while also proving that they’re never going to be predictable with their sound.
Deathdotgov doesn’t need to acclimate- they’ve arrived fully-formed and with a clear vision for their future as a band. Those hoping to watch their inevitable meteoric rise can catch them around the Valley and beyond in 2024.
