Hello there, and happy new year 2026!
We started this band back in 2010, and somehow it still feels like (almost) yesterday. Time really does fly when you have fun and even when not so fun. Over the past 16 years I’ve seen a lot: many ups, even more downs, rehearsals, gigs, releases, request campaigns, merch orders, reviews, chances, disappointments, despair, and hope.
After all that, here are the words I never thought I would write:
After thinking about this for a long time and careful consideration, I have decided to leave Dead End Irony.

Thank you to everyone who came to the gigs (or even rehearsals), gave feedback, listened, and requested our music on that certain radio station! You really made it all worth it. At times, you honestly made me feel like a rockstar 🙂
