Hauntu

**Hauntu** is a killer **ghost-punk** (or post-punk, depending on who you ask) band hailing from **San Diego, CA**, blending dance beats, goth vibes, angular riffs, and a whole lotta punk fury. Pronounced "Hawn-too," they've been making waves with their raw, cathartic sound that tackles the darkness of living in a messed-up world—think hints of '90s punk, metal edges, and influences like Mannequin Pussy, Hot Snakes, or Siouxsie.

Kicking off strong, they dropped the EP **I** in August 2024 (feat. "Panic" and "End of Days"), which snagged a nomination for **Best Indie/Alternative** at the San Diego Music Awards. Their debut full-length **The Unknown Reigns** hit on November 14, 2025, via Sell The Heart Records (US) and Engineer Records (UK), packed with bangers like "Crooked Teeth," "The Knife," "Sadist Sun," "By Design," "The Arrival," and more—fierce tracks about apocalypse vibes and uber-capitalist chaos. Members have ties to bands like Luna/Warsaw, Holy Tears, The Dropscience, and Fluf, and they're hitting the road for shows in Oakland, San Luis Obispo, and San Diego.
