Lehighton-based rock band Another Day Dawns debuted at Number 40 on the Mediabase Active Rock Chart last Monday.

Historically, the band is the first rock band from Pennsylvania to chart on the Mediabase Active Rock Top 40 chart as an unsigned act without any major or indie label representation.

The new EP “Stranger” features the song “Taste of Heaven” and “Am I” co-written with Grammy Hall of Fame Songwriter Desmond Child (Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Kiss), with bass performances by Aaron Bruch (Breaking Benjamin), and was produced by Joe Rickard (Starset, Joyous Wolf, Red, Diamante).

The single “Taste of Heaven,” which was released on their new EP “Stranger” on Jan. 31 to all major streaming platforms, also charted at its peak at number 28 on BDS Billboard radio charts.

The music video for “Taste of Heaven” was released on YouTube at midnight on Jan. 31, which was debuted by Live Nation-owned marketing medium “The Noise,” reached over 100,000 streams on YouTube and Spotify, and its second video, “Beautiful Suicide,” has amassed over 160,000 views and is climbing.

Formed in 2010, Another Day Dawns continues to be the most talked about up-and-coming rock act in the Northeast to mid-Atlantic region of the U.S.

Led by singer and frontman Dakota Sean, guitarist Tyler Ritter, bassist Jerome Betz, and drummer Nick McGeehan, the band released their EP “A Different Life” in February 2018, which landed them a charting spot on Billboard Heat Seekers which solidified their foundation in the active rock market.

Hitting the road with bands such as Hinder, Issues, Cold and Buck­cherry, the band has created an established following in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic states.
