L.S. Dunes

L.S. Dunes, an American rock supergroup, emerged in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. The band consists of Anthony Green, vocalist for Circa Survive, Saosin, and The Sound of Animals Fighting; Frank Iero, guitarist for My Chemical Romance; Travis Stever, guitarist for Coheed and Cambria; and Tim Payne and Tucker Rule, bassist and drummer respectively, from Thursday. The group’s formation began during rehearsals for Thursday’s 2020 holiday livestream, initially under the working title Dad Bods. Each member recorded their parts for what would become their debut album before Green officially joined as vocalist.

The band made their live debut at Riot Fest 2022 in Chicago, Illinois, on September 16, playing six songs from their upcoming album. Their debut album, “Past Lives,” was released on November 11, 2022, through Fantasy Records. This release was preceded by singles such as “Permanent Rebellion,” “2022,” and “Bombsquad.” “Past Lives” achieved commercial success, charting on the Billboard 200 and reaching the Top Five of the UK rock and metal chart. The band followed this with their first UK tour in January 2023 and a US tour in July 2023. In 2023, they released the non-album track “Benadryl Subreddit” and the demo collection “Lost Songs: Lines and Shapes.” A second full-length album, “Violet,” was recorded and is scheduled for release on January 31, 2025, with singles like “Fatal Deluxe,” “Machines,” and “Paper Tigers” preceding it.

Throughout their career, L.S. Dunes has showcased a sound characterized by defiant and anthemic punk energy, building upon the diverse musical backgrounds of its members. Their collaborative approach, originating during a period of global uncertainty, has resulted in a style that resonates with fans of post-hardcore and alternative rock. The band continues to record and tour, establishing their presence within the rock music scene.
