...People are always saying shit.
"I am an instant fan of Dead City Dealers!! ...I have a love/hate with NC (mostly hate), but DCD is uniquely NC... I can hear New Castle in DCD, it is something that people from outside the walls of the Castle wouldn't pick up on, but I feel it. Plus, I have always loved real Oi!. There is a lack of strong, straight ahead Oi! today... Well, Oi!, Oi!, Oi! to the Dead City Dealers!"
--Pablo Diablo, Madison Mafia
"These guys hammer out uncompromising, get-in-the-fucking-pit punk rock. They write about things like the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board, their hatred of tree-hugging liberals, and drunken shenanigans. This ain’t no Hot Topic poseur band; this is the real deal. If you like your Oi! done up traditionally, Dead City Dealers is the band for you."
--Aikin, Licorice Pizza
"Holy crap! You guys are sweet!"
--Jake, Mansfield, OH
"Another horrible sounding band. Absolutely musicless, depressing noise... bad notes, sloppy guitar playing, 'I didn't graduate the third grade' lyrics, and 'let's see how hard we can hit the drums' drumming..."
--some jackass at Trichrome Productions, and he's spot-on.
"I really like your music, it's real raw. Too bad I'm all the way down here in Texas, or I would totally be at your shows."
--Emma, Houston, TX
"Hey! I didn't know decent people existed in New Castle. I thought it was all white trash and Bloods."
--Chelsea, New Castle, PA
"Your stuff is awesome! Cheers!"
--Chowder, Suckered In
"haha wow dude your funny thats coming from the dude who plays in Dead City Dealers now we know why your ashamed because of your band"
--Roland Isaac, New Castle, PA
"So. I was walking around the Statue of Liberty, singing 'Rural Streetpunk', hahaha. It was great."
--Leandra Rae from "Anywhere," PA
"When's some of your shows? I wanna come. I miss the punk scene, I'm glad someone's bringing it back around here."
--Jeremy, Youngstown, OH
"Dead City Dealers played over one hundred shows last year, in multiple states and venues. So before you try and talk like you know the music scene, I suggest you read up..."
--Aaron, Save Your Servant
"I saw you guys at the basement show, and I gotta say, I loved it. 'She's a Zombie' is definitely a favorite."
--Colin, New Castle, PA
"I have not yet got to see them play, but they have a lot of shows coming up."
--Travis Faulk, New Castle, PA
"Your music reminds me of the good ol' days around here. I wish I lived closer to where you playyy!"
--Lindsey, Fayettenam, PA
"You guys made me wanna break shit!"
--some kid after a show in Aliquippa, PA
"I like your sound, your [MySpace] page, and especially what you say on your page. Just keep going."
--Frankie Flame (vocalist, Frankie and the Flames/Superyob, solo artist, and Oi! legend)
"The guitar parts are so simple I could probably play it and I've never played guitar in my life and in the one song you said "this city's dead" for 3/4 of the song, WOW what lyrical genius."
--Lee Hartle, University Park, PA
"Punk AIN'T dead!"
--Viking Jim, The Homegrown Show on 93.3 FM WNCD
"I listened to your band....and my opinion on it is, 'Don't quit your day job!' Are you serious??? Like, whoever is singing is just terrible, I certainly wouldn't pay to see that, unless you were opening for some really kick ass band, and the music was making me want to poke my eardrums out with a hot spork!!!!!!!"
--Bethany, Pittsburgh, PA
"Great sound, guys. Well done."
--Ronan, Germany
"Wow! You're really cool, guys! She's a Zombie is awesome..."
--Evil_Jimbo (Last.fm user), Russian Federation
"All you guys play at are bars and what not. And the most played song is 54. I bet you $100 that Tuesdays Too Late jumps that in a day."
--Rob from Tuesdays Too Late, talking about MySpace song plays
"Some nice tracks there."
--Plan of Attack, Australia
"You guys sound good."
--Bi-Polar Monkey Puppets, Mercer, PA
"Oh, Sam. I totally recognized you by your hairy arm. You're hairier than Robin Williams."
--Jaime, New Castle, PA
"Anytime I have gone to a show I have heard nothing but shit on you guys and how you guys are way too full of yourselves."
--Chelsea, New Castle, PA
"'This City's Dead' is the best track I've heard from you guys so far... Very much like the Bones or Social D, especially in the vocals."
--BJ Lisko from the Turbo Lovers
"Dead City Dealers are my favorite Youngstown band."
--Myke from Johnie 3
"I like this band. I'm gonna put them on my MySpace top friends list. My respects."
--Vanessa Violent, Placentia, CA
"To think that some shit punk band, from wherever the hell you are from, that gets 13 plays a day, doesn't like my music. Wow, you just burst my bubble. You know, coming from someone with such a vast amount of musical talent like you guys - the way you yell, and spit, and growl, while you play the same three power chords throughout every song that I learned within the first two weeks of playing guitar - damn, thats a big hit for us! Seriously, get over yourself."
--Jeff from Lindbergh Skies, a really awful band from San Diego, CA
"You guys sound good, better than half the shit that's out now."
--Uno, Grand Rapids, MI
"Look, I love DCD. I love their music, I get their music. Some people don't. Some people think it's awful, and that's okay."
--Judy Facetious, New Castle, PA
"Whether you're an avid punk fan, or just a casual listener, you can find solace in this band's straight-forward approach to their craft... Sensational punk, raw and untamed. Gotta love it. Loud and proud."
--DJ LocoCow, WherewolfRadio.com
"'This City's Dead' is awesome, I wish we woulda wrote it. We probably would have slowed the second half of the song down to half-speed and sludged it out, 'cause we can't play that fast for very long anymore, heh. Also, 'No Sympathy/Horrible' is some of the heaviest, straight-up punk rock from a local band I've ever heard... and I'm old and been around the block more than a few times. Honest compliment, folks."
--someone from Rebreather
"[Dead City Dealers] are an absolutely no-frills outfit with fast chords and tight, angry songs that hearken back to a time when being a punk meant one hell of a lot more than simply making a fashion statement. In other words, these boys don’t fuck around."
--Viking Jim, Youngstown Rock
"...and the prize for stuck in your head soundtrack goes to 'This City's Dead'."
--DJ LocoCow, WherewolfRadio.com

--Viking Jim
"If you're from around here (or not), and you like your rock on the punk side of things, check out these dudes (most of you around hear have already heard 'em, or [at least] of 'em)... Revel in the glory of three-chord rock songs."
--Chad Fondak, Rebreather
"'(She's a) Zombie' cracks me up."
--Calvin Chaos
