A Will Away is an American modern rock band formed in 2011 in Naugatuck, Connecticut. The band's original five members all lived within a mile of each other growing up, forming the band while in high school.[1] Their name is a play on words from their shared philosophy, "Where there's a will, there's a way."[2] They are currently signed to Rude Records.
Starting off in the DIY music scene a self-described "cookie-cutter pop-punk" band,[3][4] the band calls their current sound "eighties pop-rock on acid," which Billboard describes as being characterized by "a slew of memorable riffs, conceptual videos, and relatable lyrics that range from the everyday to transcendental."[5]
The band self-released a full-length album and two EPs before signing in 2013 with Giant MKT, their first record label.[6] In 2015, they released their breakthrough EP, Bliss, on Quiet Fire Media, which led to the band signing with Triple Crown Records. The label re-released Bliss on October 23, 2015.[7] Their first full-length album on Triple Crown, Here Again, was released March 3, 2017.[8] Their sophomore EP on Triple Crown, Soup, was released November 20, 2019.[9]
