Post-punk garage rockers Lights On released their self-produced full-length debut ‘HERE COMES THE OCEAN’

“Just imagine the very best scene of a John Hughes movie, where the girl finally gets the guy, and that’s how you feel when Lights On performs. The band has a flair for ’80s New Wave, but with completely modern keyboard and electronica touches.”  – The San Diego Union-Tribune

New York, NY – Post-punk garage rockers Lights On will release their self-produced full-length debut ‘HERE COMES THE OCEAN’ (Self-Release), a well-crafted modern pop record comprised of multi-layered, new wave inspired material. Led by Mike Kamoo and Tim Hines of Earthling Studios, the San Diego based quintet blends euphoric vocals echoing Polyphonic Spree, splashes of vintage synth recalling The Killers, and epic, angular guitar riffs reminiscent of Echo and the Bunnymen for an inspired lo-fi sound.

Since the release of ‘WAITING FOR THE HEART TO BEAT’, the band’s debut EP, Lights On has gained international exposure throughout the music blogosphere, praise from MTV’s Buzzworthy blog, and two “Best of…” nominations from The San Diego Music Awards.

Their songs were featured in various prime-time television shows such as The CW’s ‘Gossip Girl’ and ‘The Vampire Diaries’, ABC Family’s ‘Greek’, HBO’s ‘Hung’, and SHOWTIME’s ‘The United States of Tara’. Before long, Lights On found themselves on extensive US tours and opening up for international acts such as Peter Bjorn and John and Loney Dear.
