3NSTY formed in Los Angeles around 2010, with Jaxon Ryder on vocals and guitar, Ethan James on bass, and Levi Kane on drums. They started playing in small clubs and eventually put out a self-titled debut album in 2013. That record included 'foreverlonestar,' a song that got some attention for its straightforward take on feeling isolated.
They followed up with 'The Great Destroyer' in 2015, which tried some different textures and drew some mixed reactions. Later albums like 'The Ritual' and 'The Death of Dreams' kept them putting out music through 2020. Another track people know is 'Obsessed.'
There were some lineup shifts and label issues along the way, but the core trio kept at it. They built a following by playing live and sticking to their own sound, without much fuss about being groundbreaking.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
