Earshot is an American hard rock/alternative metal band from Los Angeles, California. The band has released three albums: Letting Go, Two, The Silver Lining, and have most recently announced plans to release their fourth studio album, a 5-song Mini-LP entitled "Aftermath" on April 16, 2015.
The band formed in 1999, with singer Wil Martin collaborating with guitarist Scott Kohler, bassist Guy Couturier, and drummer Todd Wyatt in L.A. Bassist Johnny Sprague and guitarist Mike Callahan joined the band shortly after their debut was completed.
Singer-songwriter Wil has cited Led Zeppelin, the Beatles, Metallica, Thin Lizzy, U2, and Soundgarden as influences and inspirations.
Letting Go, the band's debut album, was released in 2002 and featured the song "Get Away". It received significant radio airplay, while the song "Headstrong" was featured in the motion picture Queen of the Damned. The songs "Get Away", "Headstrong", and "We Fall, We Stand" were also included in the 2002 video game Legends of Wrestling II for the PlayStation 2, GameCube, and Xbox. After months of touring with Staind, Kid Rock, and Stone Temple Pilots, "Get Away" peaked at No. 4 on the charts and stayed in the Top 100 for over 60 weeks. Earshot returned to the studio in late 2002 after spending much of that year on the road.
The band's second album, Two, was released in 2004. It includes the breakthrough hit "Wait", which was included in the video games Madden NFL 2005 and MX vs. ATV Unleashed. It was also featured in the DVD Tampa Bay Lightning 2004 Stanley Cup Champions.
