Senses are a LA-based pop rock band made up of Madison Taylor and Nick Sampson.
Named by Idobi Radio as one of their “Rising Artists to Listen to in 2024”, Los Angeles rock band ‘senses’ cultivates a unique pop-rock edge by utilizing dark synths, driving guitars, pounding drums and unique storytelling. The band, which originated when singer Madison Taylor met drummer Nick Sampson on Craigslist, prides themselves on their anthemic, relatable songwriting.
Their debut EP – “take me out of here” (released in 2023) – was produced by Keith Varon (Machine Gun Kelly, Travis Barker, The Aces, Nightly, jxdn) and received praise from fans and critics alike. Their contagious singles “sleepwalking” and “gonna make sure” have been supported by MTV, NickMusic, Wonderland Magazine, Rolling Stone IN, AXS TV and more, as well as landed the band’s first radio support with adds on KROQ, idobi Radio, DC 101 and more. The tracks also received support on several editorial playlists, including Spotify’s The Scene, All New Punk, The Locker, and Pop Punk’s Not Dead.
The band also has a handful of tracks under their belt with acclaimed producer and engineer Blake Harnage (Tate McRae, PVRIS) and recently released their single “Playing Dead”, which was produced by Mike Pepe (Taking Back Sunday, HUDDY, As It Is, Lil Lotus). Hitting the ground running in 2024, the band and producer Keith Varon released their next single, “Better Than This”, on Feb 29, 2024.
Over the course of 2023, senses hit the road supporting Carlie Hanson on her North American tour which spanned 25 major cities, ‘Leah Kate’ on her debut North American tour of 22 major cities, and ‘Boys Like Girls’ on the last 5 shows of their fall tour. They will next join Charlotte Sands across 24 major cities as direct support on the US leg of her ”Can We Start Over?” world tour.
“Better Than This” is an anthem of resilience amidst mental health struggles. While upbeat, the song resonates with listeners battling anxiety, depression, and the everyday challenges in life. Through the lyrics, senses successfully confronts the complexities of getting through life with unwavering honesty and unwinds a narrative of perseverance.
