Flint Town Throwdown – Round 14

Using the philosophy that their hometown was built on, Flint, Michigan’s Deadringer brings over a decade of busting ass to the table with a full on assault of sound on the ears. Formed in 2005, Deadringer is currently made up of dueling lead guitarists Derek Fletcher and Thomas Jon, bassist Marshall Barnett, drummer Paul Bissonnette Jr and vocalist Gabe Allen. Deadringer brings a bar brawling energy to the stage with powerful riff driven songs, thundering rhythm section, and in your face vocals. Be prepared for the nuclear punch in the face that is Deadringer.

These four individuals live, eat, and breathe music and have be...en creating original, exciting, and energetic material for the past decade, regardless of many popular trends.

Hailing from the small town of Allendale, MI, home to hunters, veterans and the late singer/songwriter Del Shannon, High School buddies Jared, Jimmy, Eric and Nick formed The Dockside Fever in the Fall of 2009.

Currently, TDF is in the studio working on their brand new EP, which will be released in the summer of 2012.
