Release Notes:
theLights are a five piece melodic alt pop band from the heart of the
U.K. Their sound is like nobody else, unique, ecletic and intimately
epic with a touch of old enough to know better! As lyrically adept as
Idlewild but as melodically breezy as a hard rock Teenage Fanclub, they
are a challenge to pigeonhole. Imagine Elvis Costello writing lyrics
for ELO, fronted by James Dean Bradfield's younger siblings!
The live Lights experience is electric and frequently spine-tingling,
rather than a bunch of college kids recycling one catchy hook, they
actually sound like a real working class band with the fire, heart and
poise that playing and writing together for years has afforded them.
Shaun (vocals, guitar and the main songwriting force) and Gary (bass
guitar) lived in the same street from a young age. From writing songs
on the swings of their local park, they hired a classroom at the high
school and started taking it more seriously. They were both in other
bands before teaming up with Liz (vocals and keyboards) who they met at
a gig. Dan (lead guitar) who worked with Gary, was soon recruited and
with the others started a three year process of finding a sound and
fine-tuning their distinctive style. After a period of hard work and a
decent grip on what they wanted to sound like, Warren (Drums and
percussion) was added as the final piece in the jigsaw. They continued
to work hard and with influences from all the group, found the sound
they were looking for.
