Dawn Patrol is an American Christian music duo composed of Forrest Frank and Noah Hayden. The group is signed to River House Records and has been active since 2025. They released their debut single, "SOS" on March 27, 2026, and have their self-titled debut album scheduled for release on April 8, 2026.
Both Frank and Hayden had solo careers in the Christian music industry predating Dawn Patrol's formation. Frank had begun his career in 2017 as a member of Surfaces. In 2024, Frank began seeing noteworthy success as a solo musician. He completed 2025 having two Billboard Hot 100-charted hits, "Your Way's Better" and "Lemonade", the former of which was certified RIAA gold and received the GMA Dove Award for Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year. His debut album, Child of God, also received the gold certification. In early 2026, he embarked on the Jesus Generation Tour alongside Cory Asbury, The Figs, and Tori Kelly, which was described as "monumental" by the Gospel Music Association duo to selling out several large stadiums in the United States. It was at the time of this tour that the duo came into being. Hayden had a less active solo career predating Dawn Patrol; he collaborated as a writer on several tracks from Frank's second studio album, Child of God II, in 2025.
Dawn Patrol was formed in September 2025. On March 27, 2026, the duo was announced alongside the release of "SOS" as their debut single. It was also announced that Frank had left his previous band, Surfaces, to pursue work with Dawn Patrol. The full album, Dawn Patrol was made available for preorder, while its second single, "Waste Some Time", was scheduled for upcoming release. Less than a week following the release of "SOS", the duo sought to change their name after finding that another band had already owned copyright on the name "Dawn Patrol".
Jesus Freak Hideout described the duo's sound as resembling "early mornings in the water, deep conversations, prayer and a shared desire to make something honest and unfiltered". In comparison to Frank's previous work, the style was considered to be "more laid-back" and containing a "sun-soaked sonic palette". GodTube described the band's style as "deeply personal" and "refreshingly unpolished".
