Meet the Band
Top Dead Center's goal is to be greater than the sum of its parts. Change is inevitable, and the band has persisted for more than a decade through several iterations. Currently, Top Dead Center is:
​
Stay Tuned! - Lead Vocals
​
Coming Soon!
​
Dan Nemec - Guitar
Drawing from an eclectic mix of
influences, ranging from the avant
garde and heavy/doom metal to more
mainstream pop punk and emo,
Dan's unique voice and approach are
key to the new Top Dead Center sound.
Always up for a challenge and always
looking for new ways to approach his
instrument, the word "no" doesn't exist in
Dan's musical vocabulary!

​
Ivan Osnaya - Bass Guitar
Providing a full and thunderous low-end,
Ivan has quickly become a core piece of
Top Dead Center's sound tapestry. As a
skilled multi-instrumentalist, Ivan is able
to approach the bass with a guitarist's
mindset to deftly bring to life the bass
lines that make all of your favorite songs
great. A tremendous talent, Ivan capably
holds down half of Top Dead Center's
rhythm section.

​
Nick Vricella - Drums & Percussion
A band is only as good as its
drummer, and Nick proves why
Top Dead Center is set to be a force
once again! Its long-standing drummer,
Nick is very much the heartbeat of
the band as he pushes things ever
onward. His consistent tempo and
leadership, both behind the kit and
behind the scenes, has helped keep
Top Dead Center going for nearly a
decade. True to drummer form, Nick
drives Top Dead Center forward!
