Planets in the Ocean, based in Seattle, is built on the long‑running chemistry between Robb Benson, Cassady Laton, and Gwon Chang. The band formed after the end of Stereo Embers, carries forward the melodic punch and harmony‑driven songwriting the three developed across earlier projects. Their sound blends Robb's soulful vocals, dynamic rhythms, and emotionally charged hooks shaped by decades of collaboration. After a run of well‑received Seattle shows and early studio singles, the trio completed their first full‑length LP. With a March 2026 release ahead, they’re stepping into their most fully realized chapter yet.<hr>&nbsp;The Rallies are Seattle's jangly power pop group with big melodic hooks and swaggering guitars.
