The Score are made up of Eddie Anthony (vocals, guitar) and Edan Dover (keyboards, production). Hailing from Los Angeles, The Score spent their first few years working to get their songs into the hands of other artists. When that didn't pan out like they thought, they decided to form a band and do it all on their own. It has worked out great having found their songs in surprising places leading to unsurprising results.
The boys cook up a signature style akin to Yeezus producing Foo Fighters stadium-size anthems uplifted in equal measure by speaker-busting distortion and glitchy 808s; songs that are unapologetically big, booming, and primed for festival singalongs and celebrations across the globe. A five-year journey brought the duo from a tiny Upper East Side apartment in NYC to gold plaques, nearly three billion streams, one million-plus YouTube subscribers, hundreds of TV and film syncs, sold out shows on multiple continents, and a fan base of millions who sing along to every word. The band’s 2016 Unstoppable EP paved the way for their full-length debut Atlas a year later, and saw the song “Unstoppable” achieve gold certification from the RIAA. They released the Pressure EP in 2019, and recently released their sophomore album, Carry On, in August 2020, featuring the likes of Travis Barker and AWOLNATION. Among hundreds of high-profile syncs, their music appeared in the NETFLIX blockbuster 6 Underground, in addition to soundtracking campaigns for Jeep, NBA, and many more.
JC got a chance to sit with Eddie and Edan to chat about their journey and what they've learned along the way.
