The Dave Matthews Band released its latest single, the eerie song, “Monsters.”

The new track also portends the group’s forthcoming new album this year, Walk Around the Moon, which is set to drop on May 19. The band is also set to head out on tour in early May with dates running into the fall, ending at Washington’s The Gorge Amphitheatre.
In the new song, Matthews sings, Chutes and ladders / Pick up sticks / Counting cards and counting bricks / Driving past that old five and dime / Can’t get nothing for a nickel since a long long time.
The band’s new LP is its first in a handful of years (pre-order here). The Grammy Award-winning band, which formed in 1991 in Charlottesville, Virginia, released its latest LP, Come Tomorrow, in 2018.
DMB’s upcoming tour begins with a trio of dates in Mexico and then the band will commence a U.S. tour beginning at The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands, Texas, on May 19. The string of headlining dates will also include stops in Charleston, South Carolina; Chicago; Saratoga Springs, New York and many more. It concludes with Matthews’ annual Labor Day weekend (September 1-3) bash at The Gorge, which is some two hours outside of Seattle.
As with every DMB tour, the band partners with The Nature Conservancy, which plants trees to help offset the carbon emissions caused from traversing the globe. For more on that, visit HERE.
