The Dawn Retreat is the musical equivalent of a superhero team-up, but with more guitars and slightly less spandex. With a sound that combines hard rock, post-hardcore, and alternative rock, they're a force to be reckoned with. Their hard rock sound combines intricate songwriting and diverse influences. Their vocalist is like the lovechild of Bert McCracken and Michael Jackson. The guitarist's riffs are so catchy, he's still in quarantine. The bassist's grooves are so funky, you'll need a bath. And the drummer's beats are so deadly, he's wanted in three states.
Their upcoming album, Crown of Horns, is like a wild ride on a musical rollercoaster with Mariah Carey and Spencer Chamberlain, if you can imagine such a thing. You'll headbang, sing along, and might even shed a tear (but don't worry, we won't tell).
Crown of Horns (2023)
From the beginning, the listener is confronted with hard-hitting rock and honest, introspective lyrics which bare it all. The lyrics touch on themes of individuality and rejection of societal norms, living with intention and purpose, while examining the forces which influence your sense of reality.
Drawing from a range of influences, including post-hardcore, metal, pop, and punk, the album showcases the band's dynamic and powerful sound with an emphasis on songwriting. The album was written in an act of passion and a deep commitment to the craft.

Royalty (2011)
Wrapped in a hard rock / pop punk package, Royalty brings an energetic punch while touching on feelings of alienation, confusion, and disillusionment, as well as a longing for connection and understanding. Exploring themes of power, control, and manipulation, often through metaphorical imagery.
The album is a reflection on the human experience, with its highs and lows, joys and sorrows, and the constant search for meaning and purpose in an often confusing and chaotic world. The lyrics are introspective and poetic, with vivid imagery and a sense of yearning that is both personal and universal.
