Dead Sara is the self-titled debut album by American rock band Dead Sara. It was released on April 10, 2012 by the band's own Pocket Kid Records and produced by Noah Shain. The album was critically acclaimed and reached number 16 on Billboard's Heatseekers Albums chart. Its single "Weatherman" reached number 30 on the Mainstream Rock chart, 31 on Hot Rock Songs and 35 on Alternative Songs.
"Weatherman" is the first song the current line-up of Dead Sara created, when Siouxsie Medley came up with the guitar riff in a rehearsal and Chris Null wrote the verses via a bassline.
"Sorry for It All" was previously released on the 2008 EP The Airport Sessions.
On June 7, 2012, Dead Sara performed "Weatherman" and "Sorry for It All" on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.
The band toured extensively in support of the record, including partaking in the 2012 Vans Warped Tour before having to pull out after Medley fractured her ribs. They opened for The Used, Chevelle, Bush in 2012 and for Muse in 2013.
A music video for "Lemon Scent" was released in March 2013.Loudwire ranked it number 5 on their list of the 10 Best Rock Videos of the year.
Loudwire named Dead Sara number 3 on their list of the 10 Best Rock Albums of 2012 and "Weatherman" the best rock song of the year. Commenting on "Dear Love" for Loudwire, Liz Ramanand wrote that "Armstrong's vocal layers can go from giving you a warm hug to punching you in the face, and the pitch of her voice takes you on a rollercoaster ride you won't soon forget."
