In the first months of 2009, The Devil Wears Prada entered the studio with producer Joey Sturgis to record their third full
length album and Ferret Music debut, With Roots and Above Branches Below. Alternative Press regarded the
upcoming album one of the most anticipated albums of 2009.

The Devil Wears Prada’s music is possessed of equal parts slithering metal riffage meshed with plush rock passages,
peppered with a barrage of synth sounds and harsh to melodic vocals. Their attack is complicated further with
unexpected twists and turns in composition, larger melodies and a more focused aggression.

The Devil Wears Prada, formed in 2005 in Dayton, Ohio, started out riding high on Rise Records, releasing Dear Love: A
Beautiful Discord which scanned over 50,000 copies and Plagues which has sold over 100,000 copies. In 2008, right
before embarking on the Van’s Warped Tour, The Devil Wears Prada announced their signing with Ferret. The band
composed of Jeremy DePoyster (guitar/vocals), Daniel Williams (drums), Mike Hranica (vocals), Chris Rubey (guitar),
Andy Trick (bass) and James Baney (keys) has been incredibly busy since the release of Plagues, including headlining
multiple tours in the US and internationally and have also been featured on multiple festivals worldwide.
