Their first full album, What Are You So Scared Of?, came out in 2011 in Australia. It was later released in the UK and US in 2012. This album helped them reach more fans around the world.
Growing Success
Their second album, The Other Side, was recorded in Australia. It was released on September 6, 2013. This album included popular songs like Lonely Girl and Come Home. It was very successful in Australia, reaching No. 5 on the ARIA Albums Chart.
Tonight Alive also had a song called "The Edge" featured in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Soundtrack. This was a big moment for the band, as their music was heard by many people through the movie.
