The Lights new single, 'Low Hundreds'

The Lights release their new single, Low Hundreds on Monday 11th May through Crash Records. It’ll be available from iTunes and all major download sites.

Low Hundreds was recorded at The Magic Garden Studios and produced by Gavin Monaghan who has recently recorded with Travis, Editors & Kings of Leon.

The Lights are a lovely burst of energy, consisting of five bright-eyed individuals with the heart and determination to be heard all over.

Their sound is like nobody else, unique, eclectic and intimately epic with a touch of old enough to know better! With a highly promising array of unique sounds, ranging from soft and passionate to loud staggering moments, they’ve perfectly blended each other’s influences and abilities to create one magnetic and appealing force.

‘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!’ – NME

For the band, 2008 saw the release of the highly successful single The Score, which openly challenges the guitar band stereotype, described by UK Music Review as ‘Full of charm, energy and personality’.

This was followed by the release of their 5 track EP The Fair Weather Travelling Companion, which saw the band moving away from the pop/rock sounds of The Score to something more folk orientated. The EP was met with a wealth of positive reviews.

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.
