Dropdead is an American hardcore punk band based in Providence, Rhode Island.[1] They have been active in the punk scene since 1991,[2] having been formed in January of that year.[3] The band's songs are generally short and very fast-paced, with few lasting longer than two minutes. Other famous crust punk and grindcore bands like Nasum[4] have covered some of their songs. The band has a strong DIY ethic.
