Sunfish®

on the road again

Sunfish is an Alternative Rock band from Salt Lake City, Utah. They fit anywhere from metal to pop with a unique sound  coined by Utah venue Velour Music Gallery's owner Corey Fox, as "glitch grunge."

Carter Sears (22), guitar and vocals has helmed Sunfish since its inception.  He is joined on stage by Courtney Lane on keys and backing vocals, Mikkel Erickson on drums and recently Avery Davis on bass.  Sunfish loves to be on the road, touring and/or opening for bands like Dead Poets Society, Arlie, Friday Pilots Club , IDKHow and Bad Flower.

A new EP drops spring 2026, with its first single JACKPOT available on streaming platforms now and the full EP available for purchase in the website shop. The Jackpot release is suported by a Western States tour in March with more tour dates to be announced soon.

As always with all things Fishy, best to catch them live.

Sunfish has been noticed by major streaming services, and have been featured on many Spotify playlists such as Adrenaline,  All New Rock,  Energy Booster Rock, and Balec, as well as Apple Music editorials like New in Rock, New in Alt, and New in Metal.  All while  playing festivals like Treefort-Boise,  Forkfest-Utah, and UMS-Denver.

If you don’t already know about Sunfish, prepare to have your mind musically blown! Comprising the ultimate guys-next-door, this band perfectly harnesses the raw energy of teenage angst and then refines it into ear-shattering guitar solos and deafening drum beats...Sunfish is becoming an absolute game-changer for the sound of Salt Lake City—they are as adaptable as a chameleon with twice as many colors, and yet somehow still relatively undiscovered. There are no boundaries to what this band can achieve; from psychedelic grooves to funky beats, Sunfish masters whatever sound they choose to finesse that week.
