Editor's note

Tonight Alive's honest pop-punk and festival energy

A Sydney band that built a following with songs about mental health and resilience.

If you want to hear what they're about, try 'Come Home' or 'The Edge.' They're both pretty straightforward and get the point across.

They've been writing about real stuff since the beginning. 'The Edge' from their 2016 album 'Limitless' talks openly about mental health, and it became a fan favorite. Their live shows have a reputation for connecting with people, especially at festivals.

Jenna McDougall and Whakaio Taahi met at a music festival in 2008 and started the band. After lineup changes in 2012, they kept going with songs like 'The Other Side' and eventually put out 'Underworld' in 2018, which had 'My Underworld' with Corey Taylor.

After Taahi and Adler left in 2012, McDougall and Best brought in guitarist Jake Hardy and bassist Josh Curry. They kept making music, with songs like 'The Edge' and 'The Other Side' becoming fan favorites. Their 2016 album 'Limitless' included 'The Edge,' which dealt openly with mental health topics.
