BACKHAND BLUE
Backhand Blue delivers a hard-hitting fusion of emotion, melody, and muscle that defines modern active rock. Fronted by powerhouse vocalist Macy Addis (Portsmouth, OH) and guitarist/vocalist Eli Dykstra (Boyden, IA), the duo has quickly carved out a name in rock’s new bands to watch.
Their debut singles, “Dead to Me” and “Potassium,” laid the foundation with explosive growth fueling a 160K+ view surge on YouTube and tripling Spotify monthly listeners in their first months out. The follow-up, “Decay,” pushed the band into overdrive, climbing to #45 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart and earning the #1 Most Added spot at SMR radio and #2 Most Added at Mediabase during its launch week.
Across all platforms, Backhand Blue’s momentum is undeniable with over 28,000 monthly Spotify listeners, 2,700 YouTube subscribers, 500,000+ total YouTube views, and a TikTok audience nearing 6,000. Their digital presence has exploded, with Spotify playlist reach jumping over 1,600% and Instagram followers nearly doubling in the past quarter.
As they gear up to release their next single, “Digging My Grave,” Backhand Blue continues to evolve their sound, visceral, cinematic, and unapologetically honest. The band’s debut EP, set to complete its waterfall rollout by mid-January 2026, cements them as one of rock’s most promising new acts.
