Dead Billionaires Share New Single & Video “Curb”

Richmond, Virginia’s ramshackle punk rock trio Dead Billionaires have today shared their new single and video, Curb, and have also announced their upcoming full length, Disaster Preparedness Coloring Book, will be released on the 2nd June via Possum Lick Farms Records. Curb is a wryly sunny solidarity anthem that simmers with energized anger at a system that allows profits to take priority over people. Curb is accompanied by a video that finds the punks offered their own product line and publicly-traded Dead Billionaires stocks which leads to a series of disastrous consequences and ultimately lampoons the disparity of those with power versus those without.

“Curb began in the first week of Virginia’s shelter in place order in March 2020. My roommates and I were drinking too much coffee and beer and watching the news. I’d just been laid off from my restaurant job and all I could see was the hesitancy of our government and corporations to do the right thing for the sake of the almighty dollar. Since our songs deal with such serious topics, we always want to also make an emphasis on humor and portray our silly side. Riding across the Belvidere bridge in downtown Richmond in the back of a 1996 Mazda pickup may have been the riskiest thing any of us have done for the sake of art.” (Singer & guitarist Warren Campbell)
