American rock supergroup formed in 2009 featuring Alison Mosshart (vocals), Jack White (drums, vocals), Dean Fertita (guitar/keys) and Jack Lawrence (bass).

Released albums include Horehound (2009), Sea Of Cowards (2010) and Dodge and Burn (2015). Known for a garage-blues/alternative rock sound with noir and dub/post-punk touches.

Two DeBaser reviews praise The Dead Weather's albums Horehound and Sea Of Cowards, highlighting Alison Mosshart's vocals and Jack White's production/drumming. Reviewers note garage-blues, noir and dub/post-punk inflections and describe Sea Of Cowards as a confident follow-up. Overall reception is positive and admiring.

For:Fans of garage rock, blues-rock and alternative rock; followers of Jack White and Alison Mosshart.

 Sea Of Cowards convinced me because in just a few minutes (more than thirty) it reaches the goal of offering you a good magma made of crystallized defiance and dandyism, essentially resulting in a sly album: certainly, whatever one might say, popular (I think it has good sales potential) but it is never played stupidly or sordidly crafted at the drawing board.

 "Horehound" is not a masterpiece, but it carries its 3 and a half stars, rounded up to 4, home in the first place because White is too skilled at turning the usual garage blues on its head, which he does very well, then because Mosshart has a wonderfully sensual voice, blues/post-punk, very, very interesting, and finally because there are strange arrangements, like tracks that turn DUB when you least expect it.
