Chicago trio Dehd rose out of their city's D.I.Y. rock scene with members initially splitting their time between multiple groups as the band took shape. Set apart by their direct, stripped-down approach, Dehd's infectious pop songs came doused in reverb and hit hard with minimal drumming and uncluttered arrangements. Well-received albums and frequent touring grew the band's fan base, and their sound took on a sharper definition with their 2020 album Flower of Devotion.
