Having gone through numerous name changes, losing a founding
member, funding a self-booked national tour on CD-R demo
burns(and managing to make enough money to pay their rent),
Headlights now find themselves with a new label to call home.
Headlights began as a four-piece combo from Champaign, IL and
features ex-Absinthe Blind (Parasol Records) and
Maserati(Kindercore) members. Following the break up of
Absinthe Blind in 2003, guitarist/vocalist Tristan Wraight
toured with Athens, GA's Maserati while several other
ex-Absinthe Blind members began writing and performing as the
three-piece Orphans. Upon his return to Champaign in winter
2004, Wraight and Orphans' keyboardist/vocalist Erin Fein
began collaborating on new material. After playing a few shows
with Orphans, the band and Wraight decided to change the name,
scrap some of the old material and begin anew as Headlights.
In spring 2004, they entered the studio to record their debut
release, The Enemies EP.
The Enemies EP was recorded and mixed by Headlights and Adam
Schmitt (Hum, The Living Blue, Velvet Crush) and finds the
band mixing traditional rock instrumentation with keyboards,
pedal steel, violin, glockenspiel, electronics, with boy/girl
harmonies.
Shortly after The Enemies EP original release as a limited
edition tour and mail-order CD, Headlights stripped down to a
three-piece after their drummer left and went on to do two
national tours including notable shows with The Delgados,
Crooked Fingers, Magnolia Electric Company, Mates of State,
Appleseed Cast, Headphones, Saturday Looks Good to Me, Owen,
Earlimart, Ester Drang, Lassie Foundation, Mono, and Poster
Children among others. A year after selling out of its
original pressing, The Enemies EP finally sees a proper
release on Polyvinyl Record Co. November 8th, 2005. The coming
year looks bright for Headlights with consistent touring of
the U.S., a 7" in the spring and their first full-length debut
in fall 2006.
