Rock Band The Haunt Makes A Loud Statement With New EP ‘Do Not Resuscitate’

Leave a comment

Florida rock band The Haunt drops their edgy, heavy hitting new EP Do Not Resuscitate. The duo, comprised of siblings Anastasia Grace Haunt [vocals] and Maxamillion “Max” Haunt [vocals, guitar, production], are uninhibited, embracing vulnerability and a more mature sound on the new body of work. Listen HERE.

“We took more of a rock-forward approach on this EP,” Max notes. “We’ve fully stepped into this space. We’re bringing in our influences of industrial and pop, but we really aimed to write rock songs first and make them even more special. The songwriting has matured. We’re coming into exactly the world and style of music we wanted to make.”

The Haunt creatively lean on their own quiet lifelong bond, pushing to elevate each other to break down walls. “Our sibling mind-reading is a big factor in how we work together,” Max observes. “I can understand what Anastasia wants to communicate musically, because we’ve been living in the same house since she was born and creating music together since she was 11. There’s nothing like our connection.”

Do Not Resuscitate Tracklisting:

1. FML

2. Little Like Hell

3. I Don’t Like the Quiet

4. Damage

5. Morally Incompetent

6. On My Grave

At 12-years-old, Anastasia started to play gigs while collaborating with her brother. Together, they launched The Haunt in 2018. They gained traction with the fan favorite “Cigarettes & Feelings,” and again in 2021 with “Love You Better off Social Intercourse EP. Along the way, they shared stages with Palaye Royale, The Hu, The Struts, Filter, and more. 2023’s Dead On Arrival EP received praise from Substream stating how “the band is coming into their own and creating a safe space for their fans with their powerful messages.” Throughout 2023, they carefully assembled what would become Do No Resuscitate.

Leave a comment

Known for their infectious energy and authentic lyricism,Florida alt-rock band The Haunt’s new single “I Don’t Like The Quiet” explores the profound vulnerability that comes with the end of a relationship, while confronting the dread of solitude. Fronted by siblings Anastasia Grace Haunt [vocals] and Maxamillion “Max” Haunt [vocals, guitar, production], the track features soaring vocals over gripping instrumentals. Listen HERE and watch below:

“’I Don’t Like the Quiet’ is a song about not being sure if you’re in love, or if you just hate being alone. It’s about someone who has taken a ton of shit and is stuck in a relationship that no longer serves them, just because they’re scared of being alone. The end of the song kinda captures that hopeless feeling we all have when we know something that we’ve relied on for too long really starts to slip away,” reflects The Haunt. 

The Haunt announces their upcoming EP, Do Not Resuscitate, out April 5th, that is sure to make an indelible mark on the alternative rock scene with its unapologetic and unrestrained attitude.  The release features “I Don’t Like The Quiet,” and previous releases “FML” and “Little Like Hell.” Stay up-to-date on forthcoming releases off the new EP by following the band on socials.

ABOUT THE HAUNT:

Blossoming between shadows and sunshine, beauty resides in the midst of extremes. Manipulating textures of dark and light, The Haunt balance smoky and soulful vocals with cinematic soundscapes underpinned by shuddering rock, glitchy synth transmissions, and gothic electronic nuances. They conjure a singular vision equally steeped in alt-pop noir and controlled industrial chaos.

The Haunt gained traction with the 2018 self-titled EP, touring with everyone from Palaye Royale to The Hu and The Struts. Picking up the pace, 2019’s “Cigarettes & Feelings” amassed almost 13 million Spotify streams. In 2021, they collaborated with Matt Good [Asking Alexandria, Sleeping With Sirens, Hollywood Undead] on the critically acclaimed Social Intercourse EP. Now with over 20 million streams and earning acclaim from Revolver, Outburn, Alternative Press, and many others, this unpredictable union powers a series of 2023 releases for Nettwerk Music Group produced by Maxamillion Haunt, Nick Lewert, Grammy Nominated Kevin Thrasher (Avril Lavigne, MGK, and Blink-182), and Seth Reger of the Grammy Award Winning production group The Stereotypes.

Florida quartet The Haunt release their epic new break-up track and music video for “I’m Done” today with Nettwerk. The uptempo alt-rock song perfectly pairs siblings Anastasia Grace Haunt [vocals] and Maxamillion “Max” Haunt [vocals, guitar, production] gritty, powerful vocals with synths and guitar riffs worthy of a riot. Stream the track, which was co-produced by Maxamillion Haunt, and Nick Lewert [drums, production] and mixed and mastered by Kevin Thrasher [Blink-182, Oliver Tree, Avril Lavigne, Machine Gun Kelly], HERE and check out the video, inspired by the classic horror film Poltergeist, below:

“‘I’m Done’ is a song about being at your absolute limit with how far you’ll bend for someone,” exclaims Maxamillion. “When you’re in love, it’s sometimes really hard to see things clearly, especially when you’re not being treated right. When you finally take a step away from the situation, you can vividly see all the things you allowed to happen and how badly they affected you.”
