Details:
"Laylights will scorch the stage with the same euphoric energy that early Echo and the Bunnymen and U2 did. Like the Killers in 2005, The Laylights' self-titled EP possesses a richer sound, not over-produced, exaggerated, or pompous, but a fuller produced, well-balanced exploratory sound akin to Stardust-era Bowie or, more recently, Spiritualized and Interpol. They're not arena rock but not indie either, and their sound is big. You will find them in mid-sized to large venues before year's end." - Josh Baker, Midwest Music Summit 2006

"A stylish and graceful self-awareness informs everything the Laylights take on, and that's rare in the local rock scene. The Denver indie rock quartet is acutely aware of its music, its impact, its mission â and this fills the band's new EP with a lush sense of confidence and manic drive. The buzz around the Laylights' new EP is a celebration for Denver's thriving rock scene." - Ricardo Baca, The Denver Post

Hailing from Denver's burgeoning Indie Rock scene, Laylights is working in a genre defined by artists like U2, The Cure, The Chameleons UK â and recently explored by artists like Bloc Party, Interpol, and Arcade Fire. The band's signature motifs include: driving basslines, tight energetic drums, sharp cutting guitars, and epic balladry.
