Many musicians pursue the dream of making unique music that they love and being successful with it. Only a few manage to realize this: Dead Poet Society are one of them. With their authentic rock sound, the band from Los Angeles breaks with the usual conventions and has long been more than just an insider tip for music nerds. Their single ".intoodeep." has well over 18 million streams on Spotify. In the past 3 years, Dead Poet Society have played at Download Festival (UK), 2000 Trees, Tons Of Rock, Rocklahoma, Pinkpop, Aftershock and Rock For People. They have also toured the USA, Europe and the UK several times, including as support for Badflower. In August 2024, they will return to Germany for 3 shows in Stuttgart, Dortmund and Frankfurt.
Musically comparable to a metallic version of Twenty One Pilots, the US answer to Muse, and an impetuous but determined alt-pop drive familiar from Bring Me The Horizon, Dead Poet Society write their own musical language - full of experimental versatility. The fact that their music stands out from that of other bands early on may have something to do with the fact that all four musicians studied at Berklee College of Music in Boston, where they also founded Dead Poet Society in the early 2010s. If you take a closer look at their music, it quickly becomes clear how much finesse and passion there is in the instrumentals, which gain in catchiness thanks to Jack Underkofler's magnificent hooks. Dead Poet Society's music is complex, but never overly cerebral.
Dead Poet Society released their first EP "Weapons" back in 2013. It took another year for the single "Sound and Silence" to become better known in 2014. Two EPs followed with "Axiom" (2015) and "Dempsey" (2016) alongside further singles, such as the successful track "American Blood" (2018). In 2019, the band toured the USA as support for Badflower. In 2020 they signed with Spinefarm Records and in 2021 their debut album "-!" was released. Tracks like ".CoDA." master a balancing act between southern rock, progressive borrowings and influences that can clearly be located in metal, while ".SALT." rolls in a depressing atmosphere with low-tuned nu-metal guitars à la Korn. Straightforwardness is not an attribute that should be ascribed to Dead Poet Society's music. Their music delivers what other bands promise but rarely deliver: a completely individual, authentic sound that is difficult to categorize.
At the end of January 2024, they released their second studio album "Fission", which they are presenting live on their current tour. In August, they will also be playing 3 German concerts in Stuttgart, Dortmund and Frankfurt.
