About Cannons

Cannons is an LA-based synth-pop duo that emerged in the mid-2010s with a sound caught between 80s new wave nostalgia and contemporary electronic pop. They built a devoted following through a series of self-released singles that showcased their particular gift for building tension in four-on-the-floor arrangements—tracks like 'Fire' and 'Heartbreaker' layer breathy vocals over crystalline synth lines and brooding basslines that hit different in a dark club versus a daytime playlist. Their production style is deliberately restrained, favoring space and atmosphere over maximalism. By the late 2010s they'd refined a formula that felt both introspective and physical, with songs built for both late-night listening and dancing alone in your room. Cannons never quite broke through to mainstream recognition despite the quality of their output, but they've maintained a steady presence in the electronic pop underground, releasing material that shows genuine evolution without chasing trends.

Their shows are intimate and precise, anchored by synth work that demands attention. Crowds tend to be respectfully locked in rather than rowdy. The energy is hypnotic more than euphoric—people actually quiet down to listen rather than talk through it.

Known for Fire, Heartbreaker, Bad Dream, Loving You, Purple

Cannons + Austin

Cannons have built a quiet presence in Austin over the years, most recently bringing their synth-pop warmth to Zilker Park in October 2024. The LA-based trio has always found something in common with Austin's love of electronic-tinged indie pop, delivering the kind of understated melancholy that resonates in a city full of people who feel things deeply but don't always say it out loud.

Live Music in Austin

Austin's music scene has a weird relationship with synth-pop. The city's known for guitar-driven indie and country, but there's a solid undercurrent of electronic and synth acts finding real traction here. Cannons fit into that strand — polished, propulsive, with enough melodic sensibility to cross over beyond just the synth crowd.

Austin road trip to see Cannons?

Stay in East Austin, where you'll find better restaurants and a neighborhood that actually feels alive. Dinner at Suerte—confident, creative food in a space that doesn't try too hard. During the day, wander the galleries and vintage shops along East 6th, or head to Zilker Park to sit with a coffee and watch Austin be itself. If you've got time, catch live music at Mohawk or Hotel Vegas—smaller rooms where you can see how Austin's songwriting community actually operates. The city's best asset isn't any single thing; it's the density of good people doing interesting work.
