123death

There’s something that happens when longtime collaborators stop pretending to be anything other than what they are. In the case of 123DEATH, that means a stubborn refusal to choose between sincerity and chaos.

Born from late night jams and early morning brain dumps, the power trio — Spencer Burner, Jeff Electric and Malcolm Sosa — have been playing music together for years, though 123DEATH is less a band and more like a group chat that gained sentience.

Their new single “Three Lives Left” (Nov 7, 2025) hums with the warmth of an old arcade cabinet. The video leans into a cool, Robotech-style retro futurism, letting the whole thing live in a flickering universe of its own. And their previous release, "Parachute Pants" (2025), gallops forward with punk urgency and the surreal swagger of a drunk preacher at Desert Daze.

Equal parts punk sermon and dive bar ritual, 123DEATH’s live set feels like channel surfing through the subconscious. Think: The Cramps if they majored in critical theory.
