People were locked in their houses, going a little stir crazy, but holding onto some fragile hope for what life might look like on the other side. For four musicians from four bands, in places not so far away, the strange suspension of time turned out to be exactly the opening they needed. No manifestos, just a simple ad, the kind of thing you'd almost miss: someone in the neighborhood looking to just jam and see what happens. A Facebook acquaintance who'd been circling the idea of working together for years finally made the call. And so Die Like Bothans was born from a few people willing to reach out and make a connection in the most 2020 way imaginable: face masks, social distancing, and maybe a little too much hand sanitizer. That unlikely origin story is written into the band's DNA. DLB draws from classic rock, hard rock, grunge, and metal. The result is music that feels both familiar and fresh, heavy and melodic, built on hook-filled grooves you'll be humming for weeks. Their set list runs the full spectrum: well-known covers, rarely-played cult favorites, and originals that hold their own in any company. Their recordings sound like the aftermath of a storm channeled through amps and aching voices. "Happy Face" is a jagged, disarming track that lurches between restraint and rage, with a lyrical unease pulsing underneath like a warning you can't quite place. With the addition of a new drummer, whose career spans blues, funk, rock, country, punk, and did we say rock? The band has been spending long hours at R-14 studios, honing the songs. "Sirens Part 2" layers clean-toned introspection against tectonic shifts that recall the dynamic range of A Perfect Circle or Failure. "Rest in Peace" delivers soaring vocal lines over instrumentation that never feels overworked. And "Oh Machine", a protest song disguised as a broken hymn, one foot in the rubble, one eye on the horizon. https://www.dielikebothans.com/home daily 1.0 2026-05-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606219047fd47262ad6f470d/4217dadf-4eb8-4100-8f8c-368a1d0b1645/Photo+Jan+25%2C+6+49+20+PM.jpg Home A bald man with a beard singing into a microphone while wearing headphones. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606219047fd47262ad6f470d/968f1e46-ae41-4747-b293-9079837a7beb/Photo+Jan+29%2C+4+38+49+PM.jpg Home Two men playing guitars in a recording studio, both wearing headphones, with musical equipment around them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606219047fd47262ad6f470d/1618168056411-PKR81020BM9K3O4MORPS/Photo%2BMar%2B26%252C%2B8%2B07%2B34%2BAM.jpg Home A musician wearing a baseball cap and face mask playing an electric guitar on stage with stage monitors and equipment around him. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606219047fd47262ad6f470d/e007c760-3006-4e56-b83b-5e148df3c04f/DSC_0833.jpg Home A man wearing a black beanie and dark hoodie, sitting and playing a yellow electric guitar inside a room with colorful fabric and decorative items. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606219047fd47262ad6f470d/6fa11303-d1e9-4c77-9ce5-5d906699cadc/DSC_0630.jpg Home A man playing an orange-brown electric bass guitar, wearing a black beanie, headphones, black t-shirt, and jeans, in a music studio with wood and string lights. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606219047fd47262ad6f470d/160b6224-8bce-41b5-b2da-5cf26c6e21c6/DieLike+Bothans-1003.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606219047fd47262ad6f470d/731eacf8-dc8f-4294-93d4-61d54e78c8dc/DieLike+Bothans-1049.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606219047fd47262ad6f470d/ae60692d-651a-4ccf-be82-948f5df30d30/DieLike+Bothans-1024.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606219047fd47262ad6f470d/e258818c-6cbf-4514-8591-10002c27ffb0/DieLike+Bothans-1027.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606219047fd47262ad6f470d/1778040736258-PZFFHGT6A2QBR19N7BY4/DieLike%2BBothans-1059.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606219047fd47262ad6f470d/1778040756750-8S8NINC2SNALH0B2FW7W/DieLike%2BBothans-1045.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606219047fd47262ad6f470d/947c1281-2317-4f26-b22d-4bffe3e8359e/DieLike+Bothans-1004.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606219047fd47262ad6f470d/0d9b886a-30d8-45ac-ba19-9bb665e3e5d7/DieLike+Bothans-1055.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606219047fd47262ad6f470d/d7d0ee2b-d2c9-4932-bfb7-e90b3848d4dc/DieLike+Bothans-1046.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606219047fd47262ad6f470d/70f3372e-a0b8-45a5-9795-f68a1877e1ff/DieLike+Bothans-1035.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606219047fd47262ad6f470d/8cba08d9-e25a-4480-8226-19eca5f048a6/IMG_2998.JPG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606219047fd47262ad6f470d/f25b0ac8-ef6c-49f9-be78-192986c4dfa5/17.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606219047fd47262ad6f470d/943b8578-e913-4a57-b8be-731f0ec352c9/11.jpg Home https://www.dielikebothans.com/music daily 0.75 2026-05-06 https://www.dielikebothans.com/epk daily 0.75 2026-03-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606219047fd47262ad6f470d/97eb220a-2be4-4afd-8e9b-e2067e45bb5e/240103786_6246558075361960_8301190580719779615_n.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606219047fd47262ad6f470d/4121b126-c2e3-46aa-9e2e-714c76535689/293072737_7990651237619293_5398307686238899069_n.jpg https://www.dielikebothans.com/error-page daily 0.75 2026-03-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606219047fd47262ad6f470d/c47d619d-7394-4324-8828-59021e2e5188/DLB+BW+v2.5+landscape.png https://www.dielikebothans.com/store daily 0.75 2026-03-09 https://www.dielikebothans.com/store/tee-shirts monthly 0.5 2024-06-18 https://www.dielikebothans.com/store/p/dlb-est-2020-t-shirt monthly 0.5 2025-07-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606219047fd47262ad6f470d/69e49c85-4414-4689-a3eb-697014b54dcc/Screenshot+2025-06-12+at+3.35.30%E2%80%AFPM.png Store -
