S8NT ELEKTRIC is a pop-metal band bridging the gap between extreme culture and heavy music. Known for performing stunts like truck-surfing, fire-spitting, and being circled by drift cars, they have built a cult-like audience who not only listens to the music but embraces their lifestyle. Their ethos, “OFF THE EDGE,” encourages taking a leap of faith and rejecting the cynicism that has become commonplace in culture.

S8NT ELEKTRIC was founded by Bri Carbajal and Niko Tsangaris. They started out playing on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood, where drug abuse and self-destruction were seen as a badge of honor for being a “real artist.” Quickly, it was apparent that Bri and Niko didn’t belong to this scene- they enjoyed weight-lifting, martial arts, skating, and being in touch with their spirituality. After a couple years touring Europe opening for acts like Wolfmother and playing festivals like Prague Rocks, Azkena Rocks, Rockville, and Bottlerock, S8NT ELEKTRIC made a big decision that would cost them their traditional rock audience.

In 2024, the founders of S8NT ELEKTRIC, Bri and Niko, decided to rebel against the age-old rock cliche- “living on the edge” and created their signature motto- “OFF THE EDGE.” Bri and Niko brought in Trey Baker, a New Mexico native born with one hand due to Congenital Limb Deficiency. Soon after, rhythm guitarist, Sinner, and bassist, Harrison Forsythe joined the lineup. S8NT ELEKTRIC’s new goal was to create a community they didn’t even believe existed at the time– a community full of people constantly pushing the boundaries, people who weren’t afraid to live their truth and chase the impossible. In June 2025, the band connected with the New Mexico drift scene to shoot the music video for “TAR.” This video became their first viral video and it exploded in the action sports community, sparking collaborations with Formula Drift driver Jeff Jones and motocross rider Chicken Joe.

S8NT ELEKTRIC found their home, and it was in extreme culture. They went on to collaborate with Bri and Niko’s MMA professor and champion Gabe Ruediger, as well as pro-wrestlers, and street artists. 

In March 2026, S8NT ELEKTRIC put out their debut album OFF THE EDGE which they entirely self-produced, mixed, wrote, and engineered. Each song serves as a journal entry of this hard period of self-discovery, re-birth, and ultimately is the soundtrack to the lifestyle they practice. Facing what scares you the most, being authentic to your core, and being fully present in moments good and bad are what makes life worth living. That is what it means to live OFF THE EDGE.
