Post-hardcore supergroup L.S. Dunes are known for their defiant and anthemic punk-infused sound. Building upon the members' previous work in bands like Circa Survive, My Chemical Romance, and Thursday, they released their debut album, Past Lives, in 2022. Deepening their sonic and emotional textures, they returned with 2025's Violet. Formed in 2020, L.S. Dunes features Circa Survive, Saosin, and the Sound of Animals Fighting vocalist Anthony Green, My Chemical Romance guitarist Frank Iero, Coheed and Cambria guitarist Travis Stever, along with bassist Tim Payne and drummer Tucker Rule of Thursday. Initially, the idea for the band took root while Thursday bandmates Payne and Rule were rehearsing for a 2020 holiday livestream. In fact, they recorded numerous instrumental tracks before solidifying the lineup around Green, who had been looking to collaborate on a project. L.S. Dunes made their live debut at the September 2022 Riot Fest in Chicago's Douglass Park. More live shows followed, as did other singles like "2022," "Permanent Rebellion," and "Bombsquad," the latter of which was inspired by the events of the January 6, 2021 attack on the United States Capitol. In November 2022, they released their debut full-length, the Will Yip-produced Past Lives. It cracked the Billboard 200 and reached the Top Five of the U.K. rock and metal chart. Following headlining tours in the U.K. and the United States, they returned in 2023 with the non-album track, "Benadryl Subreddit." That same year, they released the demo collection Lost Songs: Lines and Shapes. A crashingly emotive single, "Fatal Deluxe," appeared in 2024 as the first track off the band's sophomore full-length, 2025's Violet. Once again produced by Will Yip, the album found the band further pushing the moods and sonic experimentation of their sound, as evidenced by the singles "Machines" and "Paper Tigers." - Biography by Matt Collar
