The Devil Wears Prada have always explored life’s extremes in their music. Across more than two decades as a band, they have never shied away from confronting darkness, addressing depression, confusion, anxiety, faith, existence and death head on. That emotional weight has consistently been balanced by contrast, moving between crushing heaviness and moments of melody that feel raw and deeply personal.
After years of shared history, their bond as bandmates, and more importantly as friends, has only grown stronger. That time and experience ultimately shaped Flowers, their ninth full length album, released last year via Solid State Records. The record stands as a clear statement from a band confident in who they are, reflecting both the hardships they have endured and the clarity they have earned.
Now, the Flowers era continues with the official release of Play the Old Shit, a previously hidden track that originally appeared only at the end of the vinyl edition. Following popular demand, the band have made the song available across all streaming platforms, giving fans access to one more piece of the album’s closing thought.
“Never have we played around with any kind of secret song, so it was really fun rolling out ‘Play the Old Shit’ vinyl-only,” shares Hranica. “With that said, we’ve always known we’d release the song digitally, as well. The song is super straightforward, and within the context of the album, it provides a totally different ending in terms of mood. We are all very excited for listeners to check it out.”
Also, after a 2025 international tour schedule that would crush mere mortals and saw the band perform at Orlando Warped Tour, and in South Africa, Australia, and across Europe, TDWP will embark on the Spring 2026 US headline tour in support of the album with Four Year Strong, Split Chain, and I Promised the World. The band will return to the UK this Autumn for a five-date tour, full dates below.
