Don't die cindy is a 4 piece musical project that never happens in
real life. They made their start in 1997 and 98 as playing in
different punk rock bands all the way up until 2003 when they joined
together.

After punk rock was no longer appealing to front man Patrick Hosey, he
left it behind in 2000 and started writing and recording more sincere
music in a solo project entitled Don't die cindy. Patrick traveled in
search of musicians to accompany him, but after a year and a half of
disappointment he was forced to pack up and come home. Luck would have
it that right then was when Embraced, a melodic hardcore band on
Theory 8 Records, who claimed long friends Jonathan Hoffman
(Guitarist) and Steve Kopacz (Drummer) would call it quits. They then
formed with Patrick and his newly found bassist, Ryan Nelson, to form
something they've always wanted but could never achieve alone. About a
month later Mike Andersen, a music major attending Gulf Coast
Community College, joined the four completing Don't die cindy.

The name Don't die cindy originated from a documentary on the
September 11th attacks of the World Trade Center. Their sound is both
intoxicating and pleasing to the soul. No rules are forced on what is
said in their songs. One thing you can always count on is the fact
that this band will never compromise. Don't die cindy will always be
real.

The sound created by Don't die cindy as the musical aspects are
combined has yet to be heard before. Some have classified DDC as "Art
Rock". Others have labeled it as mature music, not claiming a
