(Hey, it did say "introduce"!!)

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.

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.

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