I Prevail

The metalcore band I Prevail was formed in 2013 in the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan. The group's cover of Taylor Swift's "Blank Space" became a viral sensation one year later, giving I Prevail their first Top 40 hit on the Mainstream Rock Songs chart and paving the way for the release of their debut EP, Heart vs. Mind, in early 2015. That same year marked the first of multiple personnel changes for the group, with bandmates eventually emerging Brian Burkheiser, Eric Vanlerberghe, and Steve Menoian serving as the longest-running members of the lineup. Meanwhile, I Prevail hit the charts once again with their debut album, 2016's Lifelines, which debuted at Number 1 on the American alternative, hard rock, and mainstream rock charts. The eclectic Trauma followed in 2019, earning the band a Grammy nomination for "Best Rock Album" and producing three Top 40 singles on the Mainstream Rock chart: the Number 3 hit "Breaking Down," the Grammy-nominated single "Bow Down," and the Number 1 hit "Hurricane." I Prevail returned to Number 1 with "Bad Things," the most successful single from the group's third album, 2022's True Power. The album also featured "Deep End," which reached number 4 on the Mainstream Rock chart, and "Closure," which reached number 36. On May 2025, the band announced that they had parted ways with singer Brian Burkheiser, while touring member Jon Eberhard was officially introduced on bass, keyboards, and percussion. Months later surfaced the fourth studio full-length, Violent Nature, in September 2025.
