Original bio: Dead Original is the new hard rock trio w/ grunge
undertones from Chicago, IL started by Paul Wandtke whom got his start
in the music industry as a work for hire drummer over the years
drumming for such acts as Trivium, Kill Hannah and even the hit
musical Rock of Ages. Feeling inspired to pick up a guitar after
always feeling like something was missing in life, he now fronts Dead
Original with Benny “Boomba” Piazza on drums and Mike Petrasek
(Bedlem) on bass. Dead Original is a blend of grunge, groove power,
simple riffs, melodic hooks and some progressive elements via some
tastefully placed odd meters. Their motto and creed is #grungelives
