DEAD RIVER – The Has-Beens Who Never Were

 


COMING (BACK) SOON TO A TRUCK STOP NEAR YOUR REGRET:


πŸ’€ DEAD RIVER – The Has-Beens Who Never Were

THE OFFICIAL ALBUM. YES. AN ACTUAL CD. EVEN A CASSETTE.
Because vinyl is for hipsters and streaming is for cowards.


🧨 LIMITED EDITION REISSUE INCLUDES:

  • CD version: Packaged in a jewel case cracked from Wes throwing it at a raccoon.

  • Cassette edition: Plays slightly warped just like your memory of the 90s.

  • Bonus: Fold-out liner notes written in JD’s handwriting and spilled chili.


🎡 FEATURING TRACKS LIKE:

  • “Cry A Match” – For when your lighter won't work but your tears will.

  • “Scary” – A love letter to every girl who said “Umm… no thanks.”

  • “Mom” – Because sometimes the only person who clapped was your mother. In 2002. At an Applebee’s.

  • (And yes, more tracks are coming. Roy’s mixing them between existential crises and his job at OfficeMax.)


🚬 EVERY PHYSICAL COPY COMES WITH:

  • A Lucy’s Pizza napkin used during the 1998 “Almost Got Signed” Tour

  • A smell that’s legally classified as “Post-Show Damp + Axe Body Spray”

  • A fake backstage pass from TouchΓ© (the strip club, not the fencing academy)

  • A handwritten apology from Wes for the Florida Surfboard Incident™


πŸ’° PRICE:

$17.98 + your dignity.
Shipping not included. Emotional damage is.


πŸ‘Ž NOT STREAMING. NOT AVAILABLE AT GUITAR CENTER.

Not because we’re cool. Because no one would take us.


πŸ”₯ PRE-ORDER NOW.

First 50 cassette buyers get a Victoria’s Secret bra and a half-smoked Marlboro signed by “maybe” Clay.


DEAD RIVER FOREVER.

Louder than your stepdad’s mixtape. Sadder than your prom playlist.
This ain’t nostalgia.
It’s a resurrection soaked in piss, chili, and cheap eyeliner.
