bonus is an emo band with members from Broward County and Dade County in south Florida. With the recent resurgence of live local music in the area, bonus emerged as a “poppier” alternative to the screamo and hardcore acts that were paving way. The quartet writes catchy hooks accented by time and tempo changes that fit surprisingly well as a “bonus” to these heavier lineups, taking influences from emo, math rock, 90’s alternative, and power pop. bonus released their first ep “was a dog” in February of 2024, followed by a single and a split in the same year with the band red sun from Oklahoma.
