Against The Sun is Orange County’s premier Hard Rock/Metalcore act. With their unique blend of heavy instruments, clean yet intense vocals, and harsh honest lyrics, they create a powerful listening experience that has garnered the band a dedicated following. 

After a string of singles throughout 2023 that generated over 120,000 streams, Against The Sun finishes off this year with the release of their ‘Silhouette’ EP.
