Against The Sun is Southern California’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 heavy melodic releases over the course of 2025, Against The Sun are back with their most unique release of the year, ‘Grey.’ Written to express vocalist Brad West’s struggle with anxiety-induced insomnia, Grey is about the days where it feels like all color has left the world. Weaving together influences from Spiritbox to Shoegaze Emo, Against The Sun create a sonic atmosphere all their own while still keeping the song grounded in heavy forward driving Metalcore.
Over the past four years of releases and local touring, Against The Sun is known for their fierce and captivating live performances. Their successes include:
◊ Their self released EPs ‘Pieces,’ ‘Silhouette,’ and ‘Truth’s Wake’ generated over 1.4 million streams
◊ Performing with nationally touring acts such as <a href="spotify:artist:7omnn7IRrrxdMwSwchVxNP" data-name="Eyes Set To Kill">Eyes Set To Kill</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3n4ersmDo55xV4fPSCKpXb" data-name="Adema">Adema</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4U4B34pc1P8n76w4G7Uwle" data-name="VRSTY">VRSTY</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3g3R9lutRYQ8tnhDayhUHk" data-name="Taken By Tides">Taken By Tides</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:5sonzPrYbTzF9ehyQaBKkj" data-name="Inimical Drive">Inimical Drive</a>
