Dead Mens' Theory was a band consisting of the lead guitarist (Andrew Logan, also drummer of Hondo) and bass guitarist (Tom Rankine) of Bird of Ill Omen and the singer of the experimental noisecore band Hondo. Dead Mens' Theory considered itself a Bird of Ill Omen side-project. However, their intent was to play music more raw and aggressive than Bird of Ill Omen, and to capture the chaotic-noise aspect of Hondo. The band's ethical purpose was "to warn people about the scariest thing, love". The band was short-lived but managed to sell out all of the printed 7"s of their first recording To Never Love Again. The band never had an official bass guitar player, but initially Peter Bartsocas did play the bass guitar at shows.
At the time of the band, Bartsocas had already left As Friends Rust and Rankine was to join a few years later.
