History
Formation and early development
Senses was formed in 2019 after Taylor and Sampson met through an online advertisement seeking musical collaborators.[2] Taylor was raised in Sacramento and Green Bay and performed in bands during high school, while Sampson was raised in Fresno and played in music ensembles before moving to Los Angeles.[2]
The band began releasing music independently and continued writing and recording music during the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]
EP releases and touring
In 2023, Senses released their first extended play, Take Me Out of Here.[3] The band performed as a supporting act for other artists on North American tours.[1][4][5]
By 2024, the band had signed with Hopeless Records.[1] In 2025, they released the EP I’m Still Breathing and undertook their first headlining tour.[6]
Musical style
Senses has been described as incorporating elements of pop-punk and pop rock, with lyrics focused on personal and emotional themes.[7] The band's official website describes their sound as "emo-friendly" and "punk-curious," though independent critical analysis of their musical style remains limited.[8]
