Across Phoenix is a dynamic alternative/indie rock trio that synthesizes the glittery hooks of ’90s jangle pop with earlier waves of indie pop, shoegaze, and dream pop. Compared to bands like Portishead, Wolf Alice, Radiohead, and Warpaint, their music carries a vibrant soundscape with unforgettable intensity. They bring an enigmatic and attractive stage presence to every venue- creating a complex wall of sound as a three-piece.
The young band began 2025 with relentless momentum—playing more than 50 stages, from packed bars to out-of-state shows and major festivals like Funk Fest, Algiers Bonfire Fest, and Pom Pom Palooza Fest. Their debut EP, spotlighted in Antigravity Magazine’s October 2025 issue, highlights Across Phoenix as one of the year’s most exciting and distinctive additions to the New Orleans music scene.
