Another Day Dawns made their Billboard chart debut last year, which solidified their foundation in the active rock market, and the first single from their latest EP, “Taste of Heaven,” peaked at No. 28 on BDS radio charts after receiving airplay on stations like 97.9X in Hazleton, 99 Rock in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and 97.3 The Rock in Dubuque, Iowa. The music video, which was filmed in Pittston, premiered on the Live Nation-owned website The Noise and YouTube on Jan. 31, garnering nearly 100,000 views.
The new EP, “Stranger,” was released independently on Jan. 31 and contained songs written with Grammy Award-winning multi-platinum hitmaker Desmond Child, who was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame for creating decades of hits with artists like KISS, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Joan Jett, Bon Jovi, Cher, Ricky Martin, and many more. The album was produced by Red and In Flames drummer Joe Rickard (Starset, Diamante, Joyous Wolf) and features a special guest performance by Aaron Bruch, bassist of Wilkes-Barre rock band Breaking Benjamin.
Another Day Dawns – Dakota Sean (vocals), Tyler Ritter (guitar), Jerome Betz (bass), and Nick McGeehan (drums) – has toured with bands like Hinder, Issues, Cold, and Buckcherry; signed with M7 Booking Agency; and picked up tour manager John Phillips, former Breaking Benjamin tour manager and the owner of 900 Management, MCR Design Group, and The Room at 900 in Forty Fort.
