History


Early days (1997–1998)

The band was founded in 1997 by songwriter and lead vocalist Edsel Dope. As a child, Edsel and his brother Simon Dope were separated when their parents divorced. When the two were adults, they reunited and Simon joined Edsel's band, playing keyboards, samples and

. In their earliest days, the band sold drugs to survive and purchase instruments. Furthermore, the band name "Dope" refers to heroin, which was the common substance Edsel and Simon sold around the New York City area as shown by their early T-shirt designs, which prominently displayed hypodermic needles. The band also had some early connections with fellow rockers

Also, guitarist Zim Zum allowed the band to claim that they were "currently being produced by Zim Zum" on the cover of their promotional discs to help them gain a record deal. It was originally planned that Zum would produce their debut. However, he was busy recording the album '' Mechanical Animals'' at the time. Lead singer Edsel has also maintained a good friendship with ex-Manson guitarist Daisy Berkowitz.


''Felons and Revolutionaries'' (1999–2000)

'' Felons and Revolutionaries'' was created after performing on the New York City club circuit, and releasing several promotional cassettes the band was signed by Epic Records. For the album's recording, Sloane Jentry had left the band and Tripp Eisen moved to guitar, while Acey Slade was brought in on bass. The album featured fourteen tracks including two covers, which were; " Fuck tha Police" by N.W.A and " You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" by English new wave band

. This helped ''Felons and Revolutionaries'' SoundScan more than 250,000 units in total. A live video for the song "Sick" was recorded to capture the energy of the group's live show. The first single and non-live promotional video released by the band from the album was "Everything Sucks", which failed to chart. The second single, a cover of "You Spin Me Round", saw the band gaining more attention; it received radio play and reached No. 37 on the US Mainstream Rock charts.


''Life'' (2001–2002)

After the relative success of their debut album, Dope decided to record a follow up entitled ''

Dope guitarist Acey Slade then left the band to join Murderdolls in mid-2002.

In 2006 Dope bassist Brix Milner played in Murderdolls front man Wednesday 13's solo band, replacing the injured Kid Kid. Edsel Dope and Virus became involved in an alternative pop/rock side-project called Makeshift Romeo.


''No Regrets'' (2008–2012)

''No Regrets'' is the band's fifth studio album. The album was released on March 10, 2009. The album debuted at No. 88 with 6,200 copies sold in its first week, making it the highest-charted album in the band's history. This CD is different from past releases in that the name of the CD is repeated in many of the songs, including "Dirty World," "My Funeral," "We Are," and the CD's title track. "Addiction" is the third single from the album. The song features a guitar solo by the guest musician Zakk Wylde. Dope has finished their spring tour of the United States, the tour, which took place over two months, included 22 dates. Tripp Lee played live on bass with the band (although Brix is still listed, and seems doubtful that he will return) and a new drummer named Angel Bartolotta, formerly of Pig and The Genitorturers has joined. It was announced on October 15, 2008, that the first single from '' No Regrets'' is called "Violence". The song is currently available to listen on the band's MySpace. There will be a music video, for "Violence", according to the image the band set for album art. One of the tracks for the album was released in late 2007 in the game, '' Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock''. ''Guitar Hero III'' includes a song by Dope called "Nothing for Me Here" on the bonus list and mentions that it will be on the band's upcoming album. Some time in early 2009, Dope updated their official website, which now features promotion for ''No Regrets'', which was released on March 10, 2009. Previews of eight tracks from the new album can be heard via the music player on the site. In addition to this, the full music video for the single Addiction, which features Zakk Wylde of Black Label Society and well-known guitarist for

On July 29, 2008, Dope released ''American Apathy Reloaded''—a CD of remixes and alternate versions of songs from ''American Apathy'', plus a live DVD. Dope has released a video to go along with the second single on the album, "6-6-Sick". The song "Nothing for Me Here" is featured in the video game '' Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock'' as a bonus track, therefore making the song's original release date in 2007, 2 years before No Regrets was released.

''Blood Money'' (2013–present)

On the September 19, 2013, the band officially released a teaser for the song "Drug Music" from their upcoming sixth studio album, entitled "Blood Money" via their Facebook page. The album was originally set to be released in March 2014. However, in an interview with Dee J. Nelson, it was said that the release will take place in the summer. The music video for the album's first single "Selfish" was released on August 26, 2014, as frontman Edsel Dope announced that Blood Money will be a two-part album. In 2015, Dope announced the dates for the "Die Mother Fucker Die" reunion tour, featuring the classic lineup of Edsel Dope, Virus, Acey Slade, and Racci Shay. Dope also recorded their very first live album in Moscow which featured the four long time friends and bandmates. Dope's live album, titled "Live In Moscow", was released in 2016 summer via a fan-funded process through their website where all those who pre-ordered the live album and/or contributed to the fundraiser would have their name listed in the album's liner notes and would subsequently make the website's virtual thermometer grow as fans shopped around the website. The Thermometer would display the overall progress in reaching various fundraiser goals such as the release of the live DVD and making it to United Kingdom and Europe for a tour. After the release of their first live album, the band announced that they will be releasing their long-awaited album " Blood Money, Part 1" in the autumn of 2016, also stating that the second part of "Blood Money" would not see such lengthy delays as Part 1 did. Dope released the official music video for the two-part album's title track "Blood Money" on July 16, 2016. The band released the second single on the album entitled "Hold On" on August 26, 2016, as well as the official music video. Blood Money part 1 was officially released worldwide on October 28, 2016, via eOne Entertainment. After the release of "Blood Money, Part 1," Dope went to tour Russia and the United Kingdom as the headlining act as well as having toured with the classic lineup featured in the "Die Mother Fucker Die Reunion" tour.

dinner table." In terms of composition, the band mostly relies on simplicity. Edsel Dope describes one of his songs "Pig Society" a song that "encompasses the spirit of the band at its core development. Angry, simple, and full of middle fingers". The band's song "Die MF Die" has become Dope's most popular song, and also being used during military operations. About the song, Edsel Dope explained: "''It is a very progressive but very fun 'tongue in cheek' song. The real amazement to me is the power that song took on over the years and how many things it's done beyond way more than I ever thought it would. Apparently that song was used as kind of a battle cry for lots of soldiers as they went into the Iraq war and was used in training. There have been other rumours that they have used it when they have interrogated Iraqi POWs. It is kind of an aggressive song for people to lose their minds. It took on a whole other life that I had never ever imagined".''
