8PAST is a band that goes all in for the music they love. From classically trained to self-taught, the musical backgrounds of this quintet are as distinct as their individual personalities. Though the heart of their music is rooted in pop-punk, they draw from an eclectic mix of styles and influences to make each song unique. The catchy riffs and sing-along melodies in every song are fused with lyrics that range from the light-hearted to the thought-provoking, reflecting on relationships, faith, hope, self-confidence, and zany online cartoon characters. On stage, they are known for their intense and intimate performances, thoroughly engaging audiences wherever they go. In the studio, they strive to capture the passion of their music for their upcoming debut album, "No Reserve, No Retreat, No Regret".
