S8NT ELEKTRIC don’t fit anywhere neatly, and that’s entirely the point. The LA-based pop-metal outfit’s debut album ‘OFF THE EDGE’ is out now via Long Branch Records, a 10-track statement from a band built on an ethos of adventure, growth, and the deliberate rejection of rock and roll self-destruction. Listen here.
New single “HOW 2 FEEL” arrives alongside the album announcement and marks a genuine milestone for the band. Combining the upbeat, catchy melodies of pop with brutal riffs, emotional guitar solos, and screaming incorporated for the first time, the track captures S8NT ELEKTRIC at the intersection of everything they’ve been building toward.
The band frames the song’s meaning directly. “‘HOW 2 FEEL’ is the first song that has really shown exactly what pop-metal is. The song is about who we are when things are not going our way. Who are we when life is giving us its worst? We all feel like this is where our sound was headed and we just made the mark.”
Founded by frontwoman Bri Carbajal and guitarist, songwriter, and producer Niko Tsangaris, S8NT ELEKTRIC have built their reputation through sheer commitment to the experience they create, on record and on stage. Known for pulling off stunts including truck surfing, skydiving, being circled by drift cars, and fire-spitting, their live show backs up the album’s go-all-in philosophy completely.
The band has toured Europe every summer, opening for Wolfmother, Mammoth WVH, MC5, Dirty Honey, and WARGASM, and played major festivals including Bottlerock, Rockville, Prague Rocks, and Azkena Rocks. ‘OFF THE EDGE’ is the debut that puts all of that stage time on record for the first time, with Carbajal, Tsangaris, Trey Baker on drums, Sinner on guitar, and Harrison Forsythe on bass delivering a fully realized introduction to a band that sounds like nobody else working in this space.
