THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA — Mike Hranica (vocals), Jeremy DePoyster (guitar, clean vocals), Kyle Sipress (guitar), Jonathan Gering (keys, synths, programming, percussion), and Giuseppe Capolupo (drums) — have been tipped by Revolver for their ability to keep fans guessing two decades deep into their career and for their willingness to experiment with their sound. It’s this fearlessness that has allowed the band to remain as vital as ever.
Now, the band is excited to announce the upcoming release of its ninth album, Flowers which arrives November 14 via Solid State Records. They have also shared a double single: Where the Flowers Never Grow and Wave along with a short film That Same Place Where The Flowers Never Grow.
“Where The Flowers Never Grow is a song about the realization that no matter how good things get from the outside, there is a still a place of darkness in our minds… the place where flowers never grow,” says DePoyster. “The hours spent away from the stage and the bright lights can be a lonely place. The lyrics are a reckoning with how you can receive everything you thought you wanted, but you still have to reckon with the intrusive thoughts of emptiness and old wounds that you’re trying to find a way to heal. My hope is that anyone who hears the song feels seen, that they’re not alone in the darkest corners of their mind, and that we’re all trying to find a way forward.”
TDWP have a slew of upcoming tour dates on deck, including dates in Australia with Bullet For My Valentine this October; headline shows in South Africa; and a trek across Europe with Ice Nine Kills and Creeper. The band will also appear at Warped Tour in Orlando on November 15-16, and will also embark on the Emo’s Not Dead Cruise in January, as well.
