Dead Poet Society brought their co-headlining tour with Honey Revenge to the Worcester Palladium on November 7th, with Hunny and Broadside rounding out the bill. For a band that formed at Boston’s Berklee College of Music in 2013, the show was a return to where it all began. They moved to Los Angeles after graduating, but the New England roots are still there.
They came home with their boldest record yet. The band is touring behind their third studio album, Monarch, released on October 2nd via Spinefarm Records. It’s an album that thrives on contradiction: heavy but melodic, vulnerable but defiant, built by classically trained musicians who would rather bend the rules of rock and roll than follow them. Monarch is the sound of a band going deeper into what makes them who they are, with all the weight, melody, vulnerability, and defiance that have defined them since the beginning. Live, that tension translated into something big. Underkofler led the charge on vocals, guitar, and keys, blending raw intensity with moments of tenderness, while guitarist Jack Collins layered in the textures that give the band’s sound its depth. Dylan Brenner’s bass anchored the low end, and Will Goodroad’s drumming gave the set its heartbeat.
The timing of the show made the night feel even bigger. In just a few days, Dead Poet Society will cross the Atlantic to open for Muse, playing some of the biggest venues of their career. Worcester got them hungry and sharp, and it’s clear they’re ready for what’s next.
