Tonight Alive are an Australian rock band from Sydney, formed in 2008. The band consists of lead vocalist Jenna McDougall, lead guitarist Whakaio Taahi, rhythm guitarist Jake Hardy, bassist Cam Adler and drummer Matt Best.

After self-releasing the EPs All Shapes & Disguises and Consider This in 2010, Tonight Alive left Takedown Records and signed to both Fearless Records and Sony Music Entertainment Australia in 2011 and released their debut album What Are You So Scared Of? on 14 October 2011. The record was officially released in the UK and US in October of 2012, a year after its initial release in Australia. Their second studio album, The Other Side, was recorded in Australia and released 6 September 2013. It debuted on the ARIA Albums Chart at No. 5. The band contributed the song "The Edge" to the The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Soundtrack. The band's third album, Limitless, released on March 4, 2016. The first single, "Human Interaction" was released on October 30, 2015. It coincided with the album's announcement and their world tour with Set It Off.

Tonight Alive have been listed as one of the top 10 Australian bands in 2010 on American rock radio station KROQ. They consistently tour year-long.

Guitarist Jake Hardy and bassist Cameron Adler already had an existing rock project covering other bands' material. Later, they met Whakaio Taahi through mutual friends, and asked him to join in on keyboard and lead guitar.

Jenna McDougall was writing her own acoustic music at the time, and had Adler helping her record and produce a demo. After the demo was finished, Adler gave McDougall a song the band had written and asked her to record her vocals over it. On May 31, 2008, the day before her sixteenth birthday, McDougall joined as lead vocalist, forming the first version of the band.
