In this episode of The Rumors Are True, we’re joined by Chad Shellabarger, bassist of the influential post-hardcore band Dead Poetic. From their early days in the underground scene to becoming a staple of the 2000s alternative music movement, Dead Poetic left a lasting mark with their emotionally charged lyrics, heavy-hitting sound, and unforgettable albums like New Medicines and Vices.
Chad takes us behind the scenes, sharing stories about the band’s formation, life on the road, and the highs and lows of the music industry. We talk about the creative process, the evolution of their sound, and what ultimately led to the band stepping away from the spotlight. Plus, Chad gives us an update on what he's been up to since his days in Dead Poetic and reflects on the band’s legacy in today’s music landscape.
If you grew up listening to Dead Poetic or are just discovering their music, this is an episode you won’t want to miss!
