Dont You Dare Drop New Single "I Love The Misery"
 | Fri, April 10, 2026 at 12:00 AM |
Born from the raw concrete of Sacramento, California, DONT YOU DARE (styled without the apostrophe) are a modern rock duo fusing the intensity of nu-metal and metalcore with raw, unfiltered emotion.
Vocalist Noah Duarte, a poet-turned-frontman, joined forces with guitarist Matt English to create a sound that's both therapeutic and confrontational, and the foundation of what would become DONT YOU DARE.
Today, the band shares the video for "I LOVE THE MISERY," because, really, who doesn't?
"'I LOVE THE MISERY' is the darkest song we've written to date. It's the story of isolation and self-destruction. It takes you through every emotion you could think of when you're on that cliff about to jump, but then you ask 'Why?,'" the band states.
"'I LOVE THE MISERY' is a personal favorite of mine because every night I sing it, it allows me to let go and release those demons from years ago that still linger," shares Duarte. "It's the pause in the set, the moment everyone opens their eyes to DONT YOU DARE. This song helped me heal. It's such an amazing experience to see people who don't even know us feel that as well. It doesn't matter what walk of life you're in, everyone has felt what 'I LOVE THE MISERY' is. 'I wanna wake up' - I came up with that years ago at this point, and to this day the hook still rings true when I'm going through a rough patch. I always tell myself, 'It will never get that bad again and I put one foot in front of the other.' It's an extremely painful and dark song but the underlying message is healing so cry, scream, yell or sing. Let it all out and live in the moment. That's what 'I LOVE THE MISERY' actually is."

DYD's debut single, "S.O.S." saw the band come out swinging, generating strong momentum across streaming platforms and rapid audience growth on social media with their second single, "BLACK & BLUE," continuing that momentum. "DIE4ME" doubled the growth and got the band their debut spot on Sirius XM Octane Test Drive. "I LOVE THE MISERY" takes the emotional intensity that the band is known for, telling a story about isolation and self-destruction.
