DEAD POET SOCIETY release „Miami For The Weekend“

Dead Poet Society offer a final preview of their forthcoming album,  Monarch (Oct. 2, Spinefarm) with today’s release of “Miami For The Weekend”.
 
“Miami For The Weekend” follows the release of  “Cold,” “Roach” and “Sinner Systems,” tracks that highlight Monarch’s balance of weight, melody, and emotional intensity. The new music has drawn swift praise, with Revolver calling it “tense and knotted with danceable dread,” Kerrang! describing the songs as “seething,” and Consequence hailing the tracks as a “glorious success.” 

Produced by Mutemath frontman Paul Meany (Twenty One Pilots, Pierce The Veil), mixed by GRAMMY Award-winning Adam Hawkins (Turnstile, Yungblud), and recorded at Valley View Studios and The Park in Los Angeles, Monarch finds Dead Poet Society digging deeper into the instincts that have always defined the band.

„We wanted to carve out our own piece of territory,“ says vocalist and guitarist Jack Underkofler of the band’s approach to writing Monarch. „I just wanted to swing for the fences with this one. All the things I felt made us, I wanted to see how much deeper I could go with them and try to boil down the essence of the feeling that makes Dead Poet Society who we are.” 

The result builds on the foundation established by 2021’s -!- and 2024’s FISSION, delivering the band’s most expansive and emotionally resonant collection yet. It’s an album that embraces contrast, weight and melody, vulnerability and defiance, and exploits the tension between them.

Monarch is available for pre-order now on multiple limited-edition vinyl variants, including a version featuring an expanded booklet, as well as CD, and digitally.
 
Fans continue to discover The House, an interactive world inspired by the Monarch artwork, where a young girl sits ringed by phones. Phones that are ringing.
