Style: Alt-Rock, Pop

Salt Lake City trio Cinders’ newest EP, Going Nowhere, is an aperitif to hold fans over after their last 2021 full-length. Longtime friends Montana Smith (vocals, guitar), Adrian De La Cruz (bass), and Brad Bennett (drums) have undeniable chemistry as a unit, spewing energy, emotion and honesty with an electric blend of alt-rock and pop. “Don’t Wait Up” is co-produced by Mike Sapone (Taking Back Sunday, The Front Bottoms), which, combined with their supporting roles touring with Ritt Momney and Sub-Radio, is the exact pocket the band needs to be in. Lighthearted loud rock is alive and the lane is clear for Cinders to play to bigger audiences and keep the momentum going!
