A punishing, melody-driven post-grunge/electronicore outfit based out of Toronto, Deadset Society (formerly known as Never Say Die) were founded in 2013 by former members of another Canadian hard rock troupe, My Darkest Days. When MDD went on hiatus -- vocalist Matt Walst was given the opportunity to front Three Days Grace -- the remaining members, Reid Henry and Brendan McMillan, forged a new path under the Never Say Die moniker. In 2016 the duo's demos found their way into the ears of producer and Age of Days drummer Mike Langford, who reached out to tourmate Dane Harsell to help Henry and McMillan flesh the songs out. What originated as an EP eventually blossomed into an LP, and in late 2016 they dropped their first single, "Automatic." Destroy + Rebuild, the group's full-length debut, arrived in January 2017. ~ James Christopher Monger
