Senses

senses is a Los Angeles-based self-identifying “emo-friendly, punk-curious” band known for their
explosive energy and soul-baring truth. Their music channels pain and frustration into catchy anthems
that resonate with fans and has catapulted them into a packed first headline tour and multiple tours as
support with artists like Charlotte Sands, The Summer Set (UK & US), Yours Truly (AUS), Carlie Hanson,
Leah Kate, Bailey Spinn, and Boys Like Girls. Recently signed to Hopeless Records in 2024, the band,
led by Madison Taylor (vocals/guitar) and Nick Sampson (drums), has seen their fanbase grow rapidly,
thanks in part to their emotionally charged live shows and viral live videos.
Formed in 2019 after Taylor and Sampson connected via Craigslist, senses quickly made a name for
themselves with their raw and unruly sound. Despite any setbacks, they continued to create, leading to
their breakthrough debut EP, “take me out of here” (2023). The EP, produced by Keith Varon, features
hard-hitting singles like “sleepwalking”, “gonna make sure” and “novocain”, and earned the band radio
play and spots on major editorial playlists. In March 2025, the band released their celebrated second EP,
“i’m still breathing”, with crowd favorites including “diamonds on your dagger”, “every little thing” and
“nosebleeds.” Keeping their feet on the gas, the band recently released their third EP “onto something” in
October 2025, which includes pop-rock anthems “onto something”, “tiptoeing”, and “skin”.
Through their music and a history of electrifying live performances, senses have built a close-knit
community with their fans. The band is now working on new music, driven by their passion for creating an
inclusive space where everyone can connect and find solace in their songs.
