History

The origins of the ensemble can be traced back to Arizona band The Cover Up. Lead vocalist Joe Cotela stated that things with The Cover Up were approaching a standstill, and that they were performing music swayed by Every Time I Die. Because the band was dissatisfied with Epic Records not properly promoting the album, the band decided to move on.[4][5]

This dissolution in turn formed Man Made Machine and eventually DED was born.

DED Beginnings (2016-present)

Shortly after Man Made Machine performed their final show,[6] lead vocalist Joe Cotela and percussionist Matthew Reinhard formed a new ensemble named DED along with guitarist David Ludlow and bassist Kyle Koelsch both members of Greeley Estates.[7] In December 2016,[8] the band released its debut track "FMFY" on all digital platforms along with a music video.[6] In February of the following year,[9] a similar release was made for "Anti-Everything", the second single from the band.[10] In May 2017, the latter composition ranked No. 18 on Mainstream Rock songs[11] and No. 22 on Active Rock.[12] At the end of that month, the ensemble announced that Mis.an.thrope, their debut studio album, is scheduled for release on July 21, 2017.[13] The release date of the album has been since pushed back one week to July 21, 2017.[14]

Touring

The band was supposed to be heading out on tour with Korn and Animals As Leaders in May 2017 and Korn again in July and August on the Serenity Of Summer Tour with Stone Sour,[13] Yelawolf[15] and more. DED will also be playing at various rock festivals including Carolina Rebellion, Rock on the Range, Rocklahoma, Chicago Open Air, and Rise Fest.[13]
