NEW VERSION FEATURES UNRELEASED TRACKS + DEMOS
BAND SHARES “DENOUNCER,” WHICH PREMIERED VIA SIRIUSXM OCTANE — LISTEN
HEADLINE TOUR FEATURING DROPOUT KINGS + VRSTY SET FOR JULY + AUGUST
DED — Joe Cotela (vocals); Alex Adamcik (guitar); Kyle Koelsch (bass); and Matt Reinhard (drums) — are pleased to release the deluxe version of their September 2025-released album RESENT via UNFD today, July 3. Get it here.
RESENT: Deluxe Edition will feature unreleased tracks and demos, adding 11 new tracks to the original 12-track album and offering fans a deeper look into the creative sessions that ultimately shaped RESENT.
Today, they share “DENOUNCER,” which premiered at SiriusXM’s Octane.
Listen here.The RESENT Deluxe edition expands on the band’s third studio album with five additional songs, including the previously released single “Weapon” and the aforementioned “DENOUNCER.” It also features three tracks that were strong contenders for the original album but ultimately didn’t make the final tracklist, along with six demos ranging from raw early ideas to near-finished recordings.
“We thought it would be cool to put everything out there and give people a look behind the curtain,” says frontman Joe Cotela. “These songs and demos were all part of the creative process behind RESENT, and we wanted fans to hear the full picture of what we were working on during that era.”
Speaking about “DENOUNCER,” Cotela explains, “I’ve always loved this song. I wanted it on the record, but I think it ended up feeling a little left-of-center compared to the rest of the album. It’s not necessarily a strange song, but it has a different energy and perspective that made it stand apart from the other tracks. Looking back, that may be exactly what makes it interesting.
“At its core, the song is about finding your own spiritual power and refusing to hand that power over to people who want to use fear, guilt, or authority to control others. A lot of the inspiration came from seeing evangelists, institutions, politicians, and religious figures use faith as a tool for influence rather than a path to connection. The song isn’t about attacking pure religion or telling people what to believe. It’s about questioning anyone who claims to speak on behalf of something greater or weaponizing that for gain while using that position to manipulate others.
“For me, spirituality, faith, love, energy, life, death, the essence of being alive—those are deeply personal experiences. No other human being can define my relationship with the universe, with the creator, or with whatever connects us all. I believe people should be encouraged to look deep within themselves, ask questions, and find their own path rather than externally and faithfully following someone else’s version of truth. Ultimately, ‘DENOUNCER’ is a reminder that we should question everything we think we know—not from a place of cynicism, but from a place of curiosity, growth, and personal freedom. Well, maybe a little cynicism.”
Overall, the deluxe is a “must-listen” for fans.

ABOUT DED:
Having burst onto the scene with their debut Mis-An-Thrope and its follow up, School of Thought, Phoenix band DED take no prisoners. The band embodies elements of nü metal, hardcore, punk, and rock with pop sensibilities, hooks, and choruses, cloaked in some of the most dense and guttural sounds you’ll hear. DED’s unexpectedly soulful music is about bringing hope, relief and self-awareness, often speaking to and about the young generations that are contending with many deeply embedded issues in today’s society. Rather than the nihilistic, anarchical hellraisers DED might seem to be upon first glance, they’re actually mythical heroes desperately trying to save society, not take it down. Joe Cotela (vocals), Alex Adamcik (guitar), Kyle Koelsch (bass), and Matt Reinhard (drums) are building a community by offering comfort in times of despair. With Mis-An-Thrope, DED took the rock world by storm, generating over 25 million streams making several Billboard chart appearances including #1 on the Alternative New Artist chart and #3 on the Top New Artist Albums chart. Singles “Anti-Everything” and “Remember the Enemy” reached Top 20 at Active Rock Radio with SiriusXM’s Octane naming DED “Artist Discovery of the Year” and “Anti-Everything” landing in the station’s Top 10 for 2017. The band were also nominated by Loudwire for Best New Artist. “Anti-Everything” also made impressive strides at servicing appearing on Spotify’s U.S. Viral 50 twice and various playlists across Apple Music, Amazon, and Pandora. The band also toured with Korn and Stone Sour.They followed with School of Thought. Touring-wise, DED lit up festival stages including Aftershock, Louder Than Life, Rocklahoma, Carolina Rebellion, Rock on the Range and Ship Rocked and have toured with In This Moment, Black Veil Brides, and more. They also enjoyed their highest charting radio hit with “Kill Beautiful Things,” which was Top 15 and the second longest-running song on the airplay charts in 2022, with 4 million stream and 1.7 million YouTube views.Ultimately, DED blaze their own trail as they cathartically stare down various beasts — both existential and innate — proving that there’s a way to live through the struggle and come out stronger, happier, and more aware of how we look after ourselves and each other. The band is now signed with UNFD, and RESENT, their first release for the label, is out now.
