The trio met in August 2005 at the University of Leeds. They were influenced by such artists as The Bangles, Blondie, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Ladytron, The Killers, Billy Idol, Gang of Four, The Slits and The Rapture.[1]

Dead Disco released four singles:
- "The Treatment" (High Voltage)

For both "The Treatment" and "Automatic", Dead Disco teamed up with producer James Ford. "Automatic" was the final single to be released by label Fierce Panda.[2] "You're Out" was produced by Greg Kurstin of The Bird and the Bee, who has also worked with Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Kylie Minogue, Gwen Stefani and Peaches.
Their first release came on the 2nd Dance To The Radio compilation 'What We All Want.'
