The Backseat Lovers are an American indie rock band that has quickly carved out a space for themselves within the indie music scene with their raw, emotionally charged sound. The band was formed in 2018 in Heber City, Utah, by frontman Joshua Harmon, lead guitarist Jonas Swanson, drummer Juice Welch, and bassist KJ Ward. They gained initial traction with their debut album, "When We Were Friends," which featured an eclectic mix of heartfelt lyrics and guitar-driven tracks, resonating with a growing fanbase that appreciated their earnest storytelling and dynamic performances.

Their sound is a blend of nostalgic indie-rock melodies and introspective lyricism, capturing the complex experiences of youth and growing pains. The Backseat Lovers reached a new level of acclaim with the release of "Waiting to Spill," an album that showcases their evolution and maturation as artists. With hits like "Slowing Down" and "Growing/Dying," the band demonstrates their ability to infuse their music with both vulnerability and a sense of unguarded urgency. Their live performances, encapsulated in "Live from the Troubadour," further exemplify the band's electric stage presence and their capacity to connect with audiences through a shared, visceral experience of music.
