Ep. 119 Jack Underkofler (Dead Poet Society)

Making Waves, Episode 119, the Christmas edition, featured Jack Underkofler Dead Poet Society, who offered us everything but a lump of coal for the hour. Their new album, Fission, is a heavily influenced breakup record due out a week before ShipRocked 2024; timing is everything. We spoke about the band's popularity in Europe, especially in the Netherlands, because it's like a national holiday when they come to town. The absurd beauty of Prague and Amsterdam, why his two dream rooms to play are both in Virginia, and why it's crucial to play basement parties from time to time. This plus his experience at Berklee School of Music when, in a brief moment of anxiety, he changed majors immediately.
