History
Anastasia and Maxamillion Haunt began performing locally, writing and releasing music around the time Anastasia was 12 years old.[2] Singer and guitarist Maxamillion Haunt co-produced their debut EP alongside producer and musician Josh Diaz.[3] The band begun releasing the EP with the first single "All Went Black" which talked personally about Anastasia's history with bullying and how she found strength through music.[4] The song was critically acclaimed, allowing the band to release three more singles, leading up to the debut of the record.[1] After the release, The Haunt opened for fashion-rock band Palaye Royale, providing support on concerts in the United States, Canada, and Europe.[5]
After returning from tour, The Haunt recorded two singles to be released independent of a studio album; "Why Are You So Cold?"[6] and "Cigarettes & Feelings"[7] The band then proceeded to record a new EP, the Social Intercourse EP[citation needed] with From First to Last guitarist/producer, Matt Good. All the songs on the EP, except "Permanent", were released as singles. One of the singles, "Twisted Dream", saw its video directed by Darren Stein, known for his work on Jawbreaker, and G.B.F.[8] In 2021 The Haunt supported The Hu on two tours of North America.
In 2023, The Haunt released their new EP, Dead on Arrival, produced by Kevin Gruft. York Calling described the release as a charismatic and emotional collection that balanced "rock undertones" with mainstream accessibility.[9]
The following year, the duo released their fourth EP, Do Not Resuscitate. Jo Cosgrove of Distorted Sound praised the record's high production standards and "soulful and seething lyrics," noting the harmony between the siblings as a standout element in contemporary music.[10]
