‍The Dead Century works in the deeply personal, loose-cannon narratives of The Hold Steady, the Replacements, and Bruce Springsteen--loud guitar and thoughtful lyrics, the nexus of chaos and joy. The band is the collaborative effort of brothers Nick and JP Check, and their friends, Austin Peterson and Rob Muehlbauer.

Been Better is the band's latest effort. The very first draft of this tune was a product of the hyper-anxious early days of the covid lockdowns, but the sentiment is no less timely and urgent: better days are on the way, even if they can't get here soon enough. Been Better was engineered and produced by Andy Thompson (Semisonic, Taylor Swift, Dessa) at Creation Audio, Minneapolis. Alec Ness of Ness Audio handled the mastering.
