-----------------------
With a diehard audience earned the old-school way and modern rock anthems suited for the digital age, Throw The Fight celebrates two decades of passion and perseverance. Mixing soaring melodicism and heavy bombast without ever sacrificing hooks, the Minnesota outfit was built to last.
Songs like “Cover Your Tracks,” “Hourglass,” “Bury Me Alive,” and “Awakening” are undeniable bangers. They resonate with an urgent band/audience connection and a unique creative voice shaped by over 20 years of experience. Close to 700,000 monthly listeners drove Throw The Fight to nearly 70 million streams on Spotify, where tastemaker playlists regularly introduce them to new listeners.
Frontman Kade Kastelitz, guitarists Ryan Baustert and Kris Weiser, and drummer Jeff Baustert make a career-defining statement with their breathtaking fifth album, Strangeworld. Produced by Josh Gilbert and Joseph McQueen (As I Lay Dying, Bad Wolves, Light The Torch, Upon A Burning Body), the record is a potent distillation of the strengths of their catalog and a huge step forward to the future.
Tours with Bullet For My Valentine, Black Veil Brides, and All That Remains; shows with Avenged Sevenfold, Papa Roach, and Red Jumpsuit Apparatus; festival appearances and headlining gigs introduced audiences to the power of the band’s sound as it evolved across four albums. In Pursuit of Tomorrow (2008) was an ambitious debut. What Doesn’t K*ll Us (2012), boasted the unstoppable “Not So Hollywood,” among other highlights. Cryptic Rock declared the band “better than ever” on Transmissions (2016). Settle Your Sins (2020) songs like “Paper Wings” became new fan favorites.
Throw The Fight creating a record this powerful from a position of strength was no accident.
“We’ve consistently executed something every day for years and never quit,” Ryan says. “It doesn’t sound exciting, but that’s the secret. That’s why we can still do this 20 years in. We maintained our independent, DIY work ethic from day one, continually doing things on our terms.
