Extreme Management Group (EMG), home to bands like Suffocation, Atheist, Misery Index, and more, has announced their partnership with Metalcore / Alternative Rock band YOUR LAST BREATH.
Hailing from the Twin Cities of Minnesota, Your Last Breath emerged from the chaos of 2020 with one mission: to create a raw, aggressive sound that embodies the pain, frustration, and defiance of a generation at a breaking point. Fusing the brutality of metalcore with the spirit of pop-punk and alternative rock, Your Last Breath delivers an explosive, cathartic experience both on record and in their electrifying live shows.
Conceived by guitarist-vocalist Dustan Cano in 2021, following a far-too-close brush with death, Your Last Breath represents a second chance at life. Starting from humble beginnings as a garage band in small town Minnesota, the band quickly made a name for themselves within the Midwest metalcore scene, delivering fiercely personal and intense music that addresses topics relating to worldview, mental health struggles, and the relentless battle to overcome adversity. In 2025, the band aims to cement their place as a household name in the industry, releasing breakout debut single “All Bite” early in the year, with subsequent releases to follow.

The band’s signature sound—marked by crushing breakdowns, driving guitar riffs, and emotionally charged lyrics—is built around the vocal fury of frontman Dakota Adams and the melodic prowess of Dustan Cano, whose passionate deliveries resonate with listeners who seek both aggression and vulnerability. Cano’s captivating guitar work propels their sound further, focusing on creating riffs and melodies that get stuck in the heads of listeners. The calculated precision of Brandon Scheffen on drums and Bryce Laing on bass provides a strong backbone, while Dustan and Dakota’s tag team vocal approach drives the band’s dynamic musical range. The sum of these parts results in a unique and far-reaching sound, with influences ranging from metalcore and pop punk to emo and alternative rock. Your Last Breath creates music that has something for everyone, all while retaining a cohesive and unified flow.
High-octane live performances are a norm for the band, stemming from Dakota Adams’ travelling experience and Commercial Vocal Performance degree from Belmont University, which guide the group and contribute to an exciting and high energy experience, captivating audiences of all demographics. Their ability to connect with fans in an authentic and visceral way has earned them a loyal following, making them one of the most exciting young acts in the metalcore and pop-punk scenes alike. The future is bright for Your Last Breath, and the journey is only just beginning.
With their sights set on breaking through to wider audiences, Your Last Breath is currently working on new material for their Debut full-length album, set to release in 2026.
Now in 2025, Your Last Breath have signed with Extreme Management Group and say, “Formed and inspired from a near death experience. Your Last Breath is a band for everyone and makes music for fans of metalcore, hardcore, pop punk, and alternative rock. Hungry to take on the world; ready to take what’s ours. We are extremely excited and proud to announce our partnership with EMG. We’re most excited to work on making ourselves a top act in our region; as well as making a name for ourselves abroad.”
