D.i.D came about as an Acronym without meaning. Following in the footsteps of A.f.i and H.i.M, D.i.D was to be the general name of the band and the meaning was to be a mystery.
That didn't last long when word spread of a band called "Dressed in death" mind you. With many preconceptions to the bands content, Dressed in death are a breath of fresh air for all those waiting for a down tuned onslaught of death metal proportions, and favour the more melodious, guitar tinged rock and good times that no one came to suspect from having such a mediocre sounding name.
But what does “Dressed in death” mean? Whatever you want it to.

Like every other career band, Dressed in death play live wherever they can, each member enjoys it way too much and there are special moments happening all the time.

Its destroying the music buisness. and good on it.

Yes.

D.i.D (or "Dressed in death") are a four-piece band hailing from the sleepy town of Bradford, West Yorkshire in England. Comprising of Rob Taylor on Drums, Elliot Andrews on Bass, Sam Widdop on Guitar and Paul Gill on Guitar and Vocals, their influences stem back to early Blues, Funk and Metal to create an all round new sound.

After meeting at a jamming session at Bradford College, Paul and Rob began working together in “The Four Cox” a hip-hop heavy quartet surviving only 4 months before disbanding after playing a phenomenal show at the local “Love Apple” venue.

Paul and Rob remained friends, planning to resurrect their band with new members, and forming a part time Red Hot Chili Peppers Tribute act, the “Red Hot Pili Cheppers”. This band is still going, but rarely work due to the lack of resources.

In the search to make their own name, Rob and Paul drafted Adam Jones-Whitton as lead guitarist, and after weeks of searching found an adequate bassist to form “The Adams Family” later renamed “Surgery”. Playing a six-song set (consisting of AFI, Greenday and the misfits Covers) at various clubs, “Surgery” took time off to concentrate on studies and such. In this time, Paul wrote the basic tracks of what would later become “never gonna give it up”. The group recruited Elliot Andrews to plat Bass, and his influence redefined the sound and outlook of what would eventually become “D.i.D”.

After playing various shows, the group took the remainder of their time to concentrate on finals and studying, writing and eventually celebrating passing their exams. After a few weeks though, Paul, Rob and Elliot saw a decrease in Adams interest and with nothing but good wishes for him and his band “Cellar Door”, waved good-bye to their prodigal guitarist. This ushered in a new day for D.i.D as Sam Widdop, a friend of the band and previous co-worker of Rob and Paul was drafted to fill the departed JW’s boots.

D.i.D has evolved with time and are currently planning to re-record old material, record new material and bring it to you with a funky fresh new outlook. Keep an eye out for us on the circuit SOON.

Stone Sour, Red Hot Chili Peppers, H.i.M., A.f.i., and Dressed in death!

None so far.

Whatever we can lay our grubby mits on.
