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 an EP release last year that generated over 170,000 streams, Against The Sun is charging full steam ahead with their latest single, ‘Icarus.’ Their heaviest song to date, ‘Icarus’ combines djent-influenced Metalcore with Against The Sun’s signature infectious hooks.
