Artist Spotlight: Light Years

Starting off the week right with another brand new installment of Artist Spotlight! Today, we head down to the Buckeye State and travel to Cleveland, OH where we come into contact with Light Years. The band consists of Pat Kennedy, Tommy Englert, Andrew Foerst, and Kent Sliney. The band has an intense, jarring pop-punk sound similar to that of The Early November and Finch with a strong lyrical base to it and intense, guitar installments designed to get you out of your seat and into the thick of things right away with a fast moving pace set in motion that you will definitely be enthralled by. I came across these guys randomly while seeing their performance video on Audiotree, and I was enthralled with their musical presence that really said alot about the group and what they hoped to accomplish musically going forward. A terrific upstart band that is deserving of your attention right away. Some tracks for you to listen to include "Uphill Battles" and "Parking Lots".

For more information on Light Years, 'Like' them on Facebook right here and see what they're like from a musical perspective. The band can be followed on Twitter as well over here and find out when the band will be stopping by your area sometime soon with a concert appearance. Their latest effort, "I Won't Hold It Against You" is now available for free streaming via their Bandcamp site located here for your listening enjoyment.
