Биография

The Brightlights are a 4 piece guitar band from Grimsby & Cleethorpes. They were the first established band signed to Distiller Records, a label owned by Samuel Dyson, son of James Dyson. They released their debut single, "Inspired By", on 7" vinyl and download on 5 November 2007. The Brightlights were on the verge of becoming one of the biggest exports in modern UK guitar music and were one of the last bands to be offered a large five album deal advance by Jive/Zomba Records, before the label collapsed in 2011. However, the band were advised to hold out for bigger and better offers and in turn the deal was declined. Fashion writers Company Magazine printed a large two page article which predicted the band would become one of the biggest bands in the UK by 2012. Unfortunately, with the rapid descent of Indie guitar music, in conjunction with the decline of their most popular fanbase platform Myspace, the band were short lived and disbanded in late 2008. The Brightlights represent one of the quickest and most un-documented rise & fall stories in popular band culture of the early noughties.
