Challenger is the explosive collaboration between powerhouse vocalist Andrew Price and multi-instrumentalist/producer Steve Payne. Their musical journey spans over a decade, marked by a diverse range of projects and genres. But with Challenger, they've distilled their sound into something raw, relentless, and unapologetically heavy. Drawing from the distorted fury of '90s heavy rock and the brooding intensity of early 2000s emo, their music is their most cohesive and guitar-driven work to date.

In the early stages of pre-production for their debut album, The Aluminum Hand, Andrew and Steve brought in Fred Mascherino (Breaking Pangea, Taking Back Sunday, The Color Fred, Say Anything) to help shape their vision. The result is an album that cuts deep with both melody and muscle, out now on Heading East Records.
