Haunted Attraction, the EP:
Before Dawn loves a double entendre, and their new EP, Haunted Attraction, is coming out just in time for spooky season! This EP, officially dropping, September 28th, 2024 at Appleton Beer Factory is second wave post-punk, synth driven, guitar pedal slammed, dystopian dance-goth for grownups. Musically, the EP Haunted Attraction gets back to Before Dawn’s roots in the music of the early aughts with their most focused, as well as darkest ethos yet. Haunted Attraction touches on subjects like the attraction and distraction of consumerism, competition for your attention, lusty limerence, shiny new dangerous things, escapism, and living in the moment versus trading the precious moments of your life just to keep your head above water amidst the haunted hell-scape of late-stage capitalism.

Before Dawn Bio:
Before Dawn is the synth-rock brainchild of Rob and Kate Houle, currently based in Appleton, Wisconsin. With roots stretching from the salty shores of Florida to a full decade in weirdo Austin, TX, and a three-year nomadic stint in sunny Los Angeles, Before Dawn has cultivated a sound that’s as eclectic as their journey. Theater majors who first crossed paths at a college party, Rob and Kate shared passions for music, theater, and adventure; this has been the bedrock of their creative partnership. Spanning two decades(2024 is indeed the 20th year of Before Dawn), Before Dawn’s current discography includes two full-length albums, two EPs, and several singles, showcasing their evolution and enduring appeal in the alternative and post-punk landscape.

About Before Dawn:
During the indie-sleaze era’s peak in Austin, Rob and Kate launched Before Dawn, aiming to deliver a sweaty, theatrical, high-energy, stadium-rock experience in the intimate setting of a duo performance. Inspired by bands like Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Interpol, The Faint, Bloc Party, Ghostland Observatory, Yacht, Santigold, DePeche Mode, Muse and The Killers their music and live show offer a cathartic and indulgent escape meant to ignite dance floors. Shawn Petsche, a promoter at Sled Island Music Festival, describes them as a "hook and synth-laden wall of sound" capable of sparking a dance party at a moment’s notice. Today, with the addition of drummer Nathan Klein, their live performances are more captivating and hard-hitting than ever.
