Exploding from a basement in Lima, Ohio, Hit The Lights has been an electrifying

spark in pop-punk since 2003. Known for delivering a kinetic blend of high-energy

punk rock with emo-tinged arrangements and hardcore-inspired

breakdowns, the band gained traction with their debut EP followed by their first

full-length, This Is A Stickup... Don't Make It A Murder, released on Triple Crown

Records in 2006. Through their infectious sound and relentless touring with

influential acts like New Found Glory, Paramore, All Time Low and Simple Plan,

they have earned themselves a loyal fan base which remain devoted to this day.

With the departure of original vocalist Colin Ross in 2007, the band's evolution

took a pivotal turn when guitarist Nick Thompson seamlessly stepped in as lead

singer, reinvigorating their tonality with a pair of albums. In 2015, they landed at

Pure Noise Records and released Summer Bones, a record that fused their

nostalgic roots with a grittier feeling edge and an unyielding drive for reinvention.

The band faced tragedy in 2022 with the untimely loss of guitarist Kyle Maite - a

shock that left scars but also brought their shared history into sharp, unrelenting

focus. Through grief and gratitude, they've emerged stronger, channeling life's

chaos into new music that pulses with urgency and purpose. To the members, Hit

The Lights is more than a band; it is a testament to the unbreakable bond that only

the love of shared melody and spirit can provide.
