Rock Supergroup L.S. Dunes Announces Sophomore Album ‘Violet’

L.S. Dunes, the post-hardcore supergroup featuring members of Circa Survive, Saosin, Coheed and Cambria, My Chemical Romance, and Thursday, has officially announced the release of their sophomore album, Violet. Set to drop on January 31, 2025, via Fantasy Records, the highly anticipated record will follow their 2022 debut album Past Lives.

The band, fronted by Anthony Green (Circa Survive, Saosin), includes Travis Stever (Coheed and Cambria) on guitar, Frank Iero (My Chemical Romance) on guitar, Tim Payne (Thursday) on bass, and Tucker Rule (Thursday) on drums. L.S. Dunes made their explosive debut at Riot Fest 2022 and has been touring in support of Past Lives ever since.

Their new single, “Machines,” is set to be released tonight at midnight ET, marking the second track from Violet to be unveiled, following the release of “Fatal Deluxe” in September.

A Cohesive Sound with Bold Exploration

Tim Payne, the band’s bassist, shared with Billboard the vision behind Violet, emphasizing how it encapsulates the band's collective musical evolution. “As an album, Violet encapsulates everything we’ve been trying to accomplish since we formed as a band,” Payne said. “It gives us, as individual musicians, a safe space to explore music in ways that we have not yet had the chance to.”

Payne explained that the creative process for Violet was influenced by the members’ deepening familiarity with one another as artists. “We were able to continue to push each other’s creative limits, but this time with a concerted effort to put the songs above all else. This helped create a very cohesive sound, while still being true to our own stylistic choices,” he added.

Upcoming Tour and Performances

Before the release of Violet, L.S. Dunes will be heading to Las Vegas to perform at the When We Were Young Festival this weekend. Following that, the band will tour across North America through November 22, continuing to build excitement for the upcoming album.
