Band members Zac Barnett, James Adam Shelley, Dave Rublin and Matt Sanchez left the Berklee College of Music in Boston where they met to take their alt-rock, four-part harmonies and infectious pop sensibilities to the Big Apple as American Authors. Their honest songwriting evidently comes from the diversity that the four members bring to the table
Debut single ‘Best Day Of My Life’ proved to be a massive international breakthrough for the band, gaining worldwide success as it featured on various advertising campaigns around the world including: Hyundai in the UK and France, Telecom in New Zealand as well as for US retail home improvement giant Lowe’s which aired during the Superbowl. It also appeared on the trailer for some of this year’s cinematic releases including Delivery Man and The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty. In Australia the track took a similar trajectory after being picked up by local liquor chain BWS for one of their commercials, landing in the top 15 on the radio airplay chart, top 10 on the iTunes singles chart and achieving certified platinum single sales.
The mega hit was even performed on Glee earlier this year during their ‘New New York’ episode as well as being invited on Ellen to perform the anthemic tune. The track is now closing in on 23 million views on YouTube and a whopping 53 million plays on Spotify! Following the success of this incredibly infectious hit single, American Authors released their equally catchy second single; ‘Believer.’ Watch the official clip below.
