The rising rockers also preview their upcoming London gig
Sunrise In Jupiter are quickly emerging as future stars in the modern rock scene, having just released their emotionally charged single “Take Me Home”. With a sound drawing comparisons to iconic bands like Muse and Foo Fighters, they’re capturing attention and building a rapidly growing fanbase. Following the success of their debut single “Satellite,” they’re continuing their ambitious release schedule of 14 tracks. Adding to the excitement, they’ll be bringing their high-energy performance to London’s 93 Feet East on May 31st. Today, we sit down with Sunrise In Jupiter to discuss their latest single, “Take Me Home,” and their upcoming live show.
“Take Me Home” is described as the “emotional breaking point of Mission to Mars Vol. 1.” Could you elaborate on the narrative driving your music and how this track fits into that storyline?
“Take Me Home” is the moment when everything starts to unravel. It is the emotional gravity point in the story. The entire record explores distance, ambition, longing, and disconnection. But this track is where all of that becomes personal. It is not just about the mission anymore. It is about what it is costing you to stay in motion.For me, it came from being far away from my wife and daughter, chasing something I believed in, but slowly realizing I was drifting too far from the people who made it all matter in the first place. That push and pull, between purpose and presence, is the core tension of the album. “Take Me Home” is the moment where the silence speaks loudest. It is not about giving up. It is about remembering what you are really fighting for. It is the crack in the suit. The signal breaking through. The track that says I am still out here, but I want to find my way back.
Your press release mentions a “2010s-infused indie rock anthem” and a “modern rock sound.” How would you personally describe your music to someone who has never heard it before?
I would say it sounds like what you would play on the way to another planet. Modern rock, yes, but built for distance. Built for reflection. It feels like a signal sent across time, carrying memory, regret, wonder, and hope. It is the soundtrack to leaving Earth and not knowing if you will ever come back but needing to go anyway.
We build our songs like transmissions. Cinematic. Layered. Emotional. The kind of music that creates space around the listener instead of just filling it. The bands that shaped us include Pink Floyd, Bowie, Tool – all had that. The moment you hear a single note or a phrase you know who it is. That is what we are chasing. A sonic fingerprint. A signal you recognize before you understand it.
We are not trying to be part of the noise. We are trying to send something real through it.
You’re releasing 14 studio-recorded tracks over five months. What is the strategy behind this ambitious release schedule, and what do you hope to achieve with it?
We did not want this to feel like a drop and scroll moment. We wanted every track to land with weight. Every song on this record came from a different emotional frequency, and we felt like each one deserved its own space to resonate before the next arrived.
The rollout became part of the story. One transmission at a time. It mirrors the emotional arc of the record itself – distance, signals, static, clarity. If we had dropped all 14 tracks at once, it would have collapsed under its own gravity. This way, we let the songs breathe. We give people a chance to live with them.
The goal is not hype. The goal is connection. If we can connect deeply with one fan, or if one of these tracks carries us all the way to a Grammy, or anywhere in between, we would feel fulfilled. I write music I would want to listen to. That is where it starts. And if it connects at scale, even better. But the first signal always has to come from somewhere real.
Can you give us any hints about what to expect from the next chapter of your music?
Expect the unexpected. Expect the familiar and the unfamiliar. The next chapter is not just a continuation, it is a revelation.
I have been channeling something greater than myself. I cannot fully explain it, but I can feel it in the songs. What is coming is more vulnerable, more expansive, and more certain in its purpose. It might not all make sense at first, but once the full picture comes into view, it will be clear that nothing was random.
The work around the bend will speak for itself. After it is all said and done, you will understand exactly why we started where we did
You have a live gig coming up in London on May 31st at 93 Feet East. What can fans expect from your live performance, and how does playing live compare to recording in the studio for you?
There is something sacred about seeing a band for the first time. That moment stays with you. It becomes part of your memory forever. You might forget the date or the weather or even who you came with, but you never forget the feeling when something real hits you live for the first time.
What you can expect from this show is lift off. These songs were built with the live experience in mind. They were made for shared energy. For noise. For sweat. For stillness between the notes. A close friend of mine in the business, someone I respect deeply, told me this set feels arena ready. And yet you will see it now in a room that holds just a few hundred people. That kind of intimacy with that kind of power is rare. It reminds me of when I saw Rage Against the Machine at the Troubadour. Two hundred people. No barriers. Just raw purpose being born in real time.
That is what this show will be. Not just a performance. A signal. A mission. An origin story in motion. And if it connects with you, you will not just remember it. You will become part of it.
If there was a band you could bring back from the dead to see live in 2025, who would you choose and why?
You might think I would say Pink Floyd, and seeing Waters and Gilmour on stage together again would be a moment carved in history. But if I am honest, the one I would bring back is Jeff Buckley.
Even though he was not a band, what he created on stage felt bigger than one person. He carried something divine in his voice, like the sound was being delivered through him, not from him. Every performance felt like a prayer, a breakdown, a revelation. He did not just sing the song. He became it.
To see him live in a small room with nothing but a guitar and a crowd holding its breath, that would be everything. It would not be about volume or production. It would be about presence. About a signal so pure it could silence the noise around it. That is what I chase when I write. Something that honest. Something that unforgettable
What’s been the most rewarding or surprising moment of your musical journey so far?
The most rewarding part has been realizing that this band was not just formed, it was drawn together. It feels like the universe sent each of us from different corners and said, this is the shape the signal needs to take.
Will Poe on guitar brings the storm and the soul. Johnny Bucci on drums is the pulse, steady and deep. Adam Ward adds weight and texture on guitar, the edge that cuts through the haze. George Cook on bass is the anchor; calm, grounded, essential.
We did not plan this. We found each other, and something clicked. It feels like the kind of chemistry you read about in the stories of the great bands. Like the music knew what it needed before we did. And now we just follow it, together.
