Formed in the Fall of 2015, Extinguish
the Sun emerged out of members of three fairly disparate local acts,
chapter seven, Trippin Molly, and Panic Stations. Guitarists Nick
Grobe and Jeremy Toms, bassist Daniel Edmunds, singer Jeremy Miller,
and drummer Michael Morley began rehearsing and writing with the goal
of creating energetic, melodic, and powerful music that could leave a
unique mark on the local scene. With a broad range of influences and
musical tastes, EtS set their sights on both writing compelling songs
and releasing them, and getting out and performing live as soon as
possible.
Playing their first show at local venue
The Whiskey Barrel in Rock Falls, IL, EtS shared the stage with area
stalwarts Bloody Gulch and singer-songwriter act MISSchief. Later in
2016, EtS headed into Steve Bearsley’s Straightaway Productions in
Morrison, IL, to record a two-song promo for “Flashes” and
“Subject to Change.” These songs were promptly released via
Bandcamp at a pay-what-you-want rate.
In the winter of 2017, EtS entered
Arverto "Gonzo" Gonzalez Jr.’s Smokers Corner, a studio
in Sterling, IL, to track “Nameless One,” later recording the
remaining eight songs for a full-length, which is anticipated to see
release in the spring of 2017. Since the completion of these
recording sessions, EtS have been booking shows and laying out their
schedule as 2017 takes shape, looking to make an appearance on a
stage or in a basement | garage | punk hovel near you soon
