Chris Comstock, better known as Marshmello, one of the biggest names in electronic music, has decided to embark on yet another thrilling new adventure in his career. He recently surprised fans by announcing a new live band called Underbrook, where he will take on the role of lead singer instead of just playing electronic music. This change shows a new direction for the artist, famous for his catchy beats and energetic performances behind the famous Marshmello helmet.

In his Instagram post on New Year’s Day, the producer expressed his excitement, saying, “Hey guys, happy new year (say it back). I decided to start a band named underbrook with some of my best friends. We love the original sound, but we wanted to put our spin on it. Hope you all enjoy!” Although details about Underbrook are still scarce, it’s clear that the band aims to combine familiar musical styles with their unique touch, showcasing now just some covers of other tracks.

Starting Underbrook and stepping into the spotlight as a singer marks a big change in Comstock’s journey. Since launching Marshmello in 2015, he has ruled the electronic music world with hits like “Happier,” “Silence,” and “Alone.” His talent for mixing electronic music with pop and hip-hop has gained him a huge following and critical praise. Now, with Underbrook, it is clear he is looking to try something new by incorporating live instruments and his singing.

Fans are curious about the band’s musical direction, drawing parallels to other artists who have successfully switched to live performances, like ODESZA and Porter Robinson. While Marshmello is known for dance music, his willingness to explore different styles suggests that Underbrook will offer something fresh. 

Whether creating fun electronic hits or performing live with his band, Chris continues to engage audiences everywhere. This new project marks an exciting chapter in his career, hinting at a bright future for him and his fans. Keep an eye out as Underbrook makes its debut in the music world!
