Audacity (band)

History

Audacity was formed in 2001, when members Kyle Gibson, Cole Wilson, and Chuck Moudant were in 6th grade. In the band's early days, they played at their school carnival and at many house parties. The band won a local Battle of the Bands in their freshman year of high school, and organized a benefit concert for victims of Hurricane Katrina. Audacity released their debut full-length album, Power Drowning, in 2009 via Burger Records. They released their second full-length album, Mellow Cruisers, in 2012 via Burger Records and Recess Records. Their third album, Butter Knife, was released in 2013, and Hyper Vessels was released in 2016 via Suicide Squeeze Records.
Audacity has toured the US extensively and has also toured Europe and Japan. They are known for their unique sound, which has been called Surf Punk, Punk Pop, Garage Slop, and Power Pop.
The band was scheduled to play a last show at Fullerton's Continental Room on October 29, 2017, but pulled out of the lineup. They are currently on hiatus, and working on new projects. A Japan Tour is scheduled to take place in March 2019, and the band has played Southern California shows during the early part of 2019.
