Hunter Benson Leans Into Heavy Rock On New Single “Last To Know”

Redondo Beach rock and Americana artist Hunter Benson continues to captivate listeners with his deeply personal songwriting, recently highlighted by the release of his heavy, introspective track, “Last to Know.” The song serves as the powerful closer to his EP Seeking, which dropped earlier this spring on March 27, 2026.

Drawing influences from Southern rock, grunge, and classic Americana, Benson writes from lived experience rather than abstract fiction. Having survived a lightning strike at age three that tragically claimed his father’s life, his music is a profound exploration of grief, faith, and resilience. “Last to Know” leans into a grittier rock sound, looking inward at what truly matters before time runs out. Following sold-out hometown shows and a placement in the upcoming 2026 film Pellett, Benson is rapidly growing an audience drawn to his direct, emotional storytelling and guitar-driven grit.
