Hey guys
Quite a few people have been asking how we came up with our bands name, and I thought it was high time we gave you all the definitive answer.
When me and Shane started the band I was heavily into a band called Rival Schools and they have a track called High Acetate which I thought would be a cool band name.
Shane liked the Acetate part of the name but not the High part so one afternoon while fitting insulation in the boiling hot attic of Shane’s studio and while probably hallucinating from the heat we settled on Dear Acetate. Acetate has loads of different meanings and our music has many different styles so we thought it was a good fit. The Dear part of the name is taken from the idea of addressing someone in a letter and we thought next to each other the 2 words sounded good and had the right meanings to be the final band name.
Hope this clears up any confusion
Have a good week
