PAX Band formed in New York City around 2018, with vocalist Aurora Celeste and guitarist Ethan Hayes at the center. They were joined by bassist Jacob Carter and drummer Mateo Rivera to make a quartet. Their music often mixes classical touches with more current sounds, though the specifics of that blend aren't detailed in a flashy way.
Their single '30 Coins' from 2020 got them some attention, with lyrics that lean into themes of loss and redemption. They put out an EP called 'Epiphany' in 2019 and a full album titled 'Ashes to Ashes' in 2021.
Celeste's vocals are described as having an operatic quality, and Hayes's guitar work brings in classical melodies. The band released another EP, 'Nocturne', in 2022, which deals with darker themes. They seem to keep working without a lot of drama or manufactured hype around their process.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
