Editor's note

Dalton's guitar-driven sound and honest lyrics

A band that formed around shared musical passion, releasing albums like 'In Defense of the Genre' and 'Decoy'.

For a sense of Dalton's sound, try '600 Feet' from their debut or 'Gabriel (Hold On)'. Both give you that guitar-forward, earnest quality they had.

Dalton's music connected with listeners through songs like '600 Feet' from their 2013 debut. Their track 'Gabriel (Hold On)' shows the kind of straightforward, guitar-driven writing that defined their sound. Even when they faced criticism in 2016 that led to canceled shows, they kept working and putting out music like 'Hold Me Now (Summer's Song)'.

The band formed with Will Swan on lead guitar, Andrew Wells on vocals, Matt Mingus on bass, and Dan Trapp on drums. They released 'In Defense of the Genre' in 2013, followed by 'Decoy' and 'No Focus', which showed some development in their songwriting. After the 2016 criticism period, they continued working, though their later activity isn't clearly documented here.
