Earshot

Two decades, and over 700k monthly listeners. The story of Earshot is one of rock’s most resilient underdog tales. The band burst onto the scene in 2002, backing their Warner Bros. debut Letting Go with production by David Kahne and mixer Andy Wallace. "Get Away" surged to #4 at Active Rock, while "Headstrong" landed on the Queen of the Damned soundtrack. Earshot avoided the sophomore slump in 2004 with TWO, recruiting producer Johnny K. Their single "Wait" cracked the Active Rock Top 10, soundtracking games like Madden 2005 and MX vs. ATV to become a definitive anthem for athletes and fighters alike. After parting with Warner in 2005, they signed with In De Goot/Fontana/Universal Records for 2008’s The Silver Lining, securing their fifth charting single with "MisSunderstood." After release, a label dispute forced the band independent. They adapted, with 2015’s The Aftermath EP, where "Let Me" hit over 1 million streams. Navigating the modern industry alone led to financial distress and depression, forcing vocalist Wil Martin to step away indefinitely. The hiatus left Earshot’s future hanging until 2019, when a reformed lineup reunited for a Las Vegas show. That set the stage for a return to the studio, reuniting with Johnny K for the album HUMANING, marking a new chapter pushing their heavy sound into the modern era. In August 2026, under Judge & Jury Records, the band released Love Left, a song about still finding self love in a world of judgement and uncertainty.
