Distant Edge is a five-piece alternative pop/rock band hailing from Minneapolis, Minnesota. The band is comprised of Nate Erickson (Guitar), Nolan Litschewski (Vocals), Jahmal Fisher (Drums), Sam Swanson (Keys/Synth), and Aaron Eiden (Bass). Formed in 2015, Distant Edge has been rising through the ranks of the Twin Cities local music scene ever since, releasing a self-titled debut EP in 2018 and subsequently a number of successful singles. The band’s sound has been described as “a bevy of synth and alt-rock influences that sets the band off into the stratosphere and leaves an indelible impression on listeners” by online blog Music Box Pete. The first single “Better Words” off of their debut album “Redlight” has amassed over 50,000 streams on Spotify alone, with subsequent singles “New Traits” and “With You” generating success as well. |
The debut album “Redlight” was in the works for over two years as a self-contained project, completely mixed, mastered, and produced by Jack Vondrachek of Tangerine Studios, who worked on Hippo Campus’ breakout EP “Bashful Creatures”, as well as recorded the likes of Lil Peep, Charlie XCX, and Nile Rodgers. The music relies on blaring synth leads and soaring vocals, complete with motoring basslines and a relentless narrative drive. The album tells the story of greed, glorification, and learning to recognize what’s truly important in a self-interested world.
Distant Edge's live shows are a spectacle. They fill the room with positive and explosive energy. Whether that involves anthemic choruses, utilizing dazzling lighting displays, or musical technicality, the band gets the audience engaged. Over the six years the band has been together, their live show has evolved into an experience not to be missed.
