About Weathers
Weathers is an American alternative rock band from Los Angeles consisting of lead vocalist Cameron Boyer, guitarist Cameron Olsen, bassist Brennen Bates, and drummer Christian Champion. Their music is characterized by driving, upbeat anthems contrasted by introspective lyrics that focus on the themes of coming of age and mental health.
Their style is inspired by the counterculture of the late twentieth and early twenty-first century. Weathers has toured supporting many alternative acts, including Saint Motel, Nothing but Thieves, Dreamers, K.Flay, Palaye Royale, One Ok Rock, Badflower, Echosmith, Meg Myers, and The Maine
The band's roots trace to 2011 when Cameron Boyer initially formed an ensemble known as One Youth, before transitioning to the moniker Above Seclusion, under which two albums were released. Brennen Bates was recruited to the band after responding to Boyer's audition post on Facebook.
Cameron Olsen crossed paths with Boyer during the 2012 Manhattan Beach Battle of the Bands, where Olsen was competing with his own band, called Colorblind. Former member Cole Carson was recruited as the band’s drummer in the fall of 2013. Carson's father and Boyer's father were members of a high school cover band called Wild Cats, establishing a musical connection between the two.
On July 9, 2014, Above Seclusion underwent another rebranding, adopting the name Signal City. The band unveiled their debut track, "Fortune". The band released four singles before officially forming as Weathers in October 2015. Members of the band have cited modern acts such as The Killers, The All American Rejects, Sir Sly, My Chemical Romance, as well as bands of the 80's and 90's such as Depeche Mode, The Cure, Pixies, and The Police, as influences.
Weathers released the singles "I Don't Wanna Know" and "Happy Pills" in 2015. "Happy Pills" was the most added song on alternative radio on its impact date, receiving the most adds for a new artist in the 2010s. "Happy Pills" peaked at No. 21 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart.
Weathers debuted their album Kids In The Night in two separate EPs. Lead singer Cameron Boyer claimed that the first part of the album is about "accepting your flaws and realizing that the so-called 'bad' things about you are actually what shape you into who you are now — a stronger, better person. It's asking, 'Are the bad things really bad or are they just temporarily hard?'".
