Earshot
Band Los Angeles United States Formed 1999 alternative metal band
Earshot formed in 1999 in Los Angeles, United States. Earshot has 17 chart appearances on 15 radio countdowns from 13 stations on RockLists, spanning 2002–2010. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “Get Away”, which appears on 8 lists with a best position of #13. The station that charted Earshot most often is WCCC The Rock (Hartford, CT), with 3 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2002.
Earshot came out of Los Angeles in 1999 playing alternative metal, with Wil Martin's big, melodic vocals riding over thick guitars from Mike Callahan and Scott Kohler. The lineup has changed several times since, and Martin is the only one who has been there throughout.
Warner Bros. Records signed them, and their debut, Letting Go, arrived in 2002 carrying "Get Away", a clenched, churning hit that exploded into a hooky chorus, along with the angsty "Not Afraid" and "Headstrong". Two, in 2004, lived up to its no-nonsense title, with "Wait" giving them another hit that paired hard-edged riffing with a surprisingly tender chorus, and "Someone" rounding out the record.
The band has kept going since with The Silver Lining, the Aftermath EP and Humaning, and a newer lineup with guitarist Aaron Fink, bassist John Novak and drummer Mike Sylvia now stands behind Martin.
