Cannons is an American indie pop band formed in 2013 in Los Angeles. The band consists of lead vocalist Michelle Joy [Lewis[3]], guitarist Ryan Clapham, and keyboardist and bassist Paul Davis.[4]

History

Ryan Clapham and Paul Davis, who have been friends since childhood, began composing music together in their teenage years.[4][5] In 2013, Joy posted an advertisement on Craigslist seeking a band looking for a singer. Clapham and Davis connected with Joy, and she was recruited as Cannons' frontwoman.[5][6]

Cannons issued their first EP Up All Night in 2014. The band then released their debut album Night Drive in 2017, as well as a second EP, In a Heartbeat, the following year. Shadows, Cannons' second album, was released in 2019 by AntiFragile Music.[7] "Fire for You", the first single from Shadows, gained significant commercial traction after being featured in a 2020 episode of the comedy-drama TV series Never Have I Ever.[4][5][8] The band subsequently signed to Columbia Records.[4] In early 2021, "Fire for You" reached number one on the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart.[9] Fever Dream, the band's third album, was released in March 2022.[10]
