Background

Dawson Daugherty, Cole Clisby, and Luke Fabry met while in high school in San Diego's North County area. [4] Fabry and Daugherty grew up together and were longtime friends, and Daugherty met Clisby through surfing. [5] [6] Daughterty and Fabry attended Point Loma Nazarene University, and Clisby went to the University of California, San Diego. [7] The band was officially founded in 2015 after Daughterty's appearance on The Voice. The band went through multiple drummers in their early years before deciding to remain a trio. Between 2019 and 2023, the band released many singles and three EPs. Two of the songs from this period, "Sunburn" and "Life Goes On", would eventually make it onto Dive; both were released as singles and included on the Endless Summer 2023 EP. [8]

Starting in 2024, the band began the leadup to Dive's release. The album's lead single, "Is It Too Late?", was released on April 3 of that year. Each of the album's singles had its cover art created by Dave Bowers. [9] On May 29, the song "Can't Slow Down" was premiered on SiriusXM's Alt Nation. The song was then released as the album's second single on May 31, along with a music video directed by Jack Revell. [10] Revell also directed many of the band's previous videos. [11] The third single, "Tidal Wave", was released on June 28. The album was officially announced on August 7, 2024. [12] The announcement was followed by the album's fourth single, "She Likes Sports", on August 16.

Dive, was released on Hollywood Records on September 25, 2024. [13] Exactly a month later, on October 15, "Jupiter" was released as the album's fifth and final single. [14]
