Mars Counsel debuted in late 2020 with Hunyt (h/nni ti/) that quickly became a defining moment in the band’s early history. In 2023, they released the Wake to Waves EP, capturing the spirit of their live sound. Teaming up with producer Kyle Pulley at Dr. Dog’s Headroom Studios, the band recorded Tower (Dare to Look) – the lead single from their upcoming EP Dare To Look.
Mars Counsel creates independent music for optimistic misfits searching for hope in the chaos while offering a soundtrack for those daring to look closer, feel deeper, and live louder. Composed of Kaile (vocals), James (guitar), Mason (bass), and Ian (drums), the group blends indie soul rock with honest lyrics and a sound that’s melodic, intimate and bold.
