Their unique blend of indie-pop music infused with smooth R&B and soul influences creates a sound reminiscent of artists like LEISURE, Hard Life, and Jungle.

The song's core message is about enduring struggle, losing grip, but finding the strength to pick up and move forward. “ We wanted everything to be really consistent and have a similar feeling for the album and singles release cycle ,” says Tyler Harden. This vision led them to work with a dedicated team, including Maxwell Byrne (Golden Vessel/1tbsp) and Bec Zanetti as co-directors for the video, with Tom Carrol (egumei) handling photography and editing. The result is a visually cohesive and playful music video that perfectly complements the song's presence. To celebrate the release of "Atlas", daste. will embark on a tour starting in Australia in early August, followed by their first-ever shows across the USA and Canada in September and October. This tour promises to bring their new music to life on stage, with a revamped set designed to excite both the band and the audience. Facebook - X - Instagram

It's been quite a summer for one of our winners of the 2024 Road to the Giveback. We haven't seen much of him since he was on Monday Night Rawrr back at our first studio. He cohosted a few episodes of Welcome to the Rawrrzone, but the multi-talented singer had slipped under our radar for the last few years. In 2024, he announced that not only would he be ghostwriting and helping independent artists, but he also decided to grace the stage again with new material, marking the beginning of a new chapter for this rising young artist. "Temperature," the debut single from the Brownsville native, is a declaration of the heat Banton will bring this summer. Kicking off his run with his love of dancehall, the young artist had us dancing in our seats during his Road to the Giveback performance. On the first listen, the melody takes us back to the late '90s and early '00s, reminiscent of Tanto Metro and Devante when parties blasted "Everyone Falls In Love Sometimes." As for his sound, we hear a mature version of his former counterpart Lex Banton, infused with his real-life persona Joshua, the music lover who understands the game and what a hit song sounds like. His voice flows smoothly with the beat, and you don't hear the pressure in his voice like in songs such as "Legendary" and his past collective group music. We see this young talent going places this summer, and 2024 is shaping up to be his year. Temperature is set to drop August 2nd Follow him everywhere @joshbantonn
