Synthetic Sun is a punk rock/indie/post-hardcore trio from St. Louis, MO making raw, emotionally honest music for the outcasts and weirdos. Starting in 2014 as a solo basement project, frontman Nick Geller eventually linked up with drummer Mikey Peterson and bassist Alejandro Montero, forming the band’s core that’s lasted through lineup changes and sonic shifts.

Over four releases — "Everything is Terrible" (2016), "Avoiding Real Life Completely" (2018), "Not Having A Good Time" (2020), and "Blunt" (2024) — the band has carved out a sound that’s both catchy and chaotic: a swirl of chunky bass lines, amped-up guitars, and confessional vocals.

Influenced by Title Fight, Joyce Manor, Arctic Monkeys, and real-life anxiety, Synthetic Sun delivers catharsis wrapped in distortion. Their live shows are sweaty, loud, and a little emotional, like a house party that turns into a therapy session. Their next release, "Deluxe Edition", drops soon, led by the single “Subtext” — a gritty alt-punk anthem out August 1st, 2025.
