With their unique ‘South Bay Hardcore’ sound, One Square Mile was formed in Hermosa Beach, California in 2017. The band’s name comes from the city of Hermosa Beach which covers about…wait for it: One square mile of land. (see what we did there!)

While 1SM is influnced by the many iconic punk and hardcore bands who came out of Hermosa Beach and the South Bay, their approach has been to not place any limits on their sound or style and simply write music that speaks to their lives and experiences.
