Meet the "Best Punk Artist of 2023"
Extended Bio
Proudly from Charleston, WV, the award-winning Better From Here is the latest pioneer in Appalachian emo. In the fall of 2022, five friends got together to make music in a church auditorium after hours. After too much time had been spent picking a name, the band agreed the name options would get “Better From Here.” The lineup consists of Bryant (lead vocals), Jagur (guitar, vocals), Hampton (guitar), Tanner (bass), and Mark (drums).
In 2023, the team released their debut EP, “All of My Nights.” The EP combined underground rock music with the melancholy of the hills of West Virginia. "All of My Nights" propelled the band to win the Born & Bred Reader's Poll "Best Punk Artist of 2023." Better From Here won the award in just over a year since inception, telling of the band’s promising future, which includes an ambitious full-length album to be released in 2025.
