Catch the raw, emotionally charged single featuring Jayden Seeley
Today’s the day. SUNBURNT, the rising pop-punk trio from Southern California, drops their highly anticipated single, “Promise”—and it’s nothing short of a moment for the band. Out now via Hopeless Records, the track is a more vulnerable, introspective side of the band’s evolving sound. Featuring Jayden Seeley (formerly of With Confidence), this release signals a shift that’s both mellow and powerful, yet still deeply rooted in the gritty honesty SUNBURNT is known for.
For Justin Tyler (vocals), Will Brown (guitar), and Alex Pombar (bass), the name SUNBURNT carries a weight. It’s not just about long, sun-drenched days in California—it’s a symbol of resilience, of grinding through the highs and lows of life and music. After over 15 years of experience in various bands, the trio joined forces post-pandemic with a renewed sense of purpose, determined to make music that feels real, raw, and alive.
“Promise” is a departure from their typical high-energy pop-punk style. Instead, the track slows things down, focusing on the emotional weight of avoidance and anxiety. As Justin explains, “It reflects on how anxieties always find their way back—no matter how far we run.” And with Jayden Seeley’s heartfelt guest vocal performance, the song explores that bittersweet truth of growing up—facing discomfort as a necessary part of growth.
It’s a track that’s more than just a song. It’s a reflection of the band’s journey, from the long days on the road to the personal struggles everyone faces in the pursuit of something real. And as SUNBURNT continues to carve their path in the crowded music scene, “Promise” is proof that they’re doing it with purpose and authenticity.
If you haven’t heard “Promise” yet, now’s the time to press play. It’s raw, it’s personal, and it’s undeniably catchy. Whether you’re already a fan or this is your first introduction to SUNBURNT, this is one track you won’t want to miss.
