Dead Poet Society is an American rock band formed while attending Berklee School of Music in Boston, Massachusetts in 2013. The band was made up of Jack Underkofler (vocals, guitar), Jack Collins (guitar), Nick Taylor (bass guitar) and Will Goodroad (drums). Dylan Brenner replaced Nick Taylor on bass in 2019. Their US break came in 2018, when Spotify editorial staff added the single “American Blood” to their playlists, after the band had built a strong organic following on social media and the streaming platforms. Josh Katz of the band Badflower, was one of their early fans, notably of their song “CoDA”, which he championed to his label Big Machine and others, resulting in interest from several labels including Spinefarm, where they later signed and released their debut album -!- in 2021. The band has gone on to become headliners in their own right, selling out 1000 + venues and playing the main stages of the biggest festivals around the world.
