History
The Band was formed in 2005 by Roger White (guitar, lead Vox) Ted Yates (lead guitar) Sebastien Marin (bass) and Charlton Snow (drums). In 2006 they released a self titled album that was recorded by ex Planet Smashers Drummer Tim Doyl in Montreal and mixed by Jordon Zadorozny at his French Kiss Studios in Pembroke, Ontario.[1]
In 2007 Dead Messenger went on hiatus and Sebastien Marin left the band. In early 2008 the band reformed with Alex Chavel on bass and began working on new material. In the fall of that year they recorded Love Is the Only Weapon at breakglass studios in Montreal. The album was produced by Jonathan Cummins (ex doughboys, Bionic) and engineered by Jace Lasek (The Besnard Lakes).[2]
The band has played such festivals as Pop Montreal, Canadian Music Week, Pitter Patter Fest and UnPop Montreal.
The band's album Love Is The Only Weapon was rated 96 on CKUT Montreal top 100 Albums chart for 2009.[3]
