Earshot, With Selinsgrove Native Aaron Fink, To Headline Lovedrafts

Earshot, a Los Angeles based band that quickly shot to success after signing with Warner Bros. Records in 2002, and now includes Selinsgrove native Aaron Fink, formerly of Breaking Benjamin, will conclude its Fall 2023 national tour in Mechanicsburg at Lovedrafts on October 22.

With special guests Thousand Years Wide and MCHNZ., the Earshot tour kicked off on September 28 in Costa Mesa, CA. Earshot’s signature, driving, hard rock beats and lead singer Wil Martin’s vocal range, coupled with hook-laden harmonies have captivated fans’ attention since the band’s early days and continue to do so today.

After releasing their debut album “Letting Go”, the band quickly found themselves touring with such notable rock acts such as Kid Rock, Staind, Shinedown, Hoobastank and Stone Temple Pilots. This national exposure pushed their debut single “Get Away” to #4 on the U.S. Active Rock Radio Charts where it stayed in the Top 100 for over 64 weeks. At the same time, Earshot’s hit song “Headstrong” was featured on The Queen of the Damned soundtrack alongside other artists such as Disturbed, Deftones and Marilyn Manson, further cementing their place among rock’s elite.

However, it wasn’t until the band’s sophomore album Two, released by Warner Bros. Records, that they would hit mainstream success with their single “Wait.” It not only reached #9 on U.S. Active Rock Radio but was also featured on the Madden NFL 2005 and MX vs. ATV Unleashed video game soundtracks.

With three chart-topping albums under their belts and a rigorous seven years of touring and recording, Earshot took a hiatus after the release of The Silver Lining. Earshot reactivated in 2019 with four new members. Aaron Fink, the former lead guitarist for platinum-selling Breaking Benjamin, joined as lead guitarist and contributor to the writing and production of the newly released music.

During Fink’s tenure in Breaking Benjamin, the band had certified sales of over 6 million albums and performed thousands of shows in North America’s largest concert venues and festivals. The band also had multiple #1 hits on rock radio and their album Dear Agony debuted at #2 on the Billboard Charts. Fink with Breaking Benjamin appeared on a slew of late-night talk shows including Jay Leno, Conan O’Brien, Jimmy Kimmel, Craig Ferguson, Craig Kilborn and Carson Daly.

Vocalist Wil Martin, bassist John Novak from the alternative rock band Down to Six, rhythm guitarist Chandler Shelton, and drummer Mike Sylvia have combined to take Earshot to the next level, one that remains true to themselves and their fans, beginning with their remake of Alanis Morrisette’s “Uninvited” and their first single of 2021, “Been a Long Time”, which was the #2 Most Added on the Billboard (BDS) Mainstream Rock indicator chart, reaching the Top 20 Billboard Mainstream and Active Rock Charts. The band has written and recorded 11 new songs to be released in spring of 2024.
