Against The Sun is set to make waves as Orange County’s premier Hard Rock/Metalcore act.  Their unique blend of heavy instruments, clean yet intense vocals, and harsh honest lyrics creates a powerful listening experience that has garnered the band a small but dedicated following. 

After an EP release last year that generated over 130,000 streams, Against The Sun is ready to charge full steam ahead with their second single of 2023, ‘JAD’.  This song tackles the complicated issue of gun violence with the level of empathy it deserves.  Touching on mass shootings to suicide, JAD is a plea to never normalize gun violence, to always feel the pain of those who have lost.  Through that collective grief, we can mobilize to action to prevent further tragedies.

Over the past two years of releases and local touring, Against The Sun is known for their fierce and captivating live performances. Their successes include:

◊ Heavy rotation on KCAL 96.7, Rock Rage Radio, Voice Fm Radio, and New Zealand’s The Rock FM

◊ Chosen as one of four finalists for Anime Los Angeles’s Battle of the Bands out of 250 applicants

◊ Performing at Knotfest 2019, the House of Blues in Anaheim, and headlining the legendary Chain Reaction
