🔥 Punk energy fused with political resistance in the same crucible, Dead Pioneers is the stage embodiment of vocalist and performance artist Gregg Deal’s artistic vision.
The band centers themes of identity, resistance, and cultural reclamation, merging punk’s raw power with the voices of Indigenous peoples.
This is not just a music project—it is also a manifesto, a space of resistance.
🎧 “Freedom Means Something” refills the concept it is named after.
With sharp guitars, shattering drums, and Deal’s rage-filled vocals, it screams the question of whose freedom it is and who is left out.
The song stays true to punk’s roots while reckoning with today’s political reality:
Freedom without justice is just a word.
💬 Dead Pioneers reminds us that art and activism are inseparable—
every concert, every lyric a reminder: to exist and to create are political acts.
🔗 Apartman No:26 Note:
- “Freedom Means Something” brings Algiers’ industrial intensity together with the spirit of Bad Brains.
- The song repoliticizes the punk scene; it centers awareness, not just anger.
- Gregg Deal’s presence on stage is a collective shout against cultural erasure.
