My Dad Is Dead – new songs from A Divided House (and links to the entire Homestead back catalog)

My Dad Is Dead is one of those bands from the 80′s that critics loved and a small group of fans supported in a cult-like, near obsessive way. The main man behind MDID is Mark Edwards. I’m not going to go in to the bands long history or extensive discography except to say they put out some of the seminal indie college rock on Homestead in the 80′s and have continued to record quality stuff since. Their last record was 2002′s The Engine Of Commerce.

I read some buzz on the upcoming record A Divided House and apparently the pieces are all in place for this to be the breakout disc for MDID. Here’s two songs from the forthcoming record:

    I love this band! Been searching everywhere for “It’s Not What You Said” for a very, very long time! Thank you so much!

    sorry to be late on this, but that’s just crazy! i loved this band, their Peel session was one of the few that I didn’t tape (lord knows why) – i even stumped up for the Scat Records 2×7″ “Shine” set, which isn’t covered here – if I get round to posting anything from that, I’ll let you know. Thanks for the tip-off.
