theLights To Release Single

• 7th Mar 2012

theLights release their first single following their signing to The Birdman Records earlier this year.

Days Don’t Get Me Far Enough Away is released on April 23rd and raises the bar even further for a band who broke through in 2011 with the release of their debut album Teenager of the Century.

The Gavin Monaghan produced Teenager of the Century saw the band burst through the doors and on to the floor of the national media stage. A whirlwind twelve months has seen the band invited to play an exclusive Q Radio set for Caroline Beavon, gain single support from Radio 2’s Janice Long and 6 Music’s Chris Hawkins and appear on the radar of Radio 2 Head of Music, Jeff Smith.

A stunning mix of light and shade, Teenagers of the Century effortlessly switches vocals between Liz Shiels and Shaun Kelly and delivers a brand of folk pop that dazzled radio and print press, resulting in numerous BBC local radio session offers. An amazing year was capped when the band was invited to play the BBC Club late last year for an industry showcase before being signed to the BubbleEye booking agency and then snapped up by The Birdman Records.

They also found time to record a charity single in the form of The Proclaimers classic Sunshine on Leith for The Hibernian FC Foundation. The band’s sound really is like no one else. A melding of five creative minds creates an appealing and magnetic force.
