Alternative / Rock / Indie

There is a new band in Los Angeles. Unafraid and optimistic, The Daylights are a three-piece demanding attention, whether they mean to or not. Ran Jackson (guitars/piano) and his brother Ricky Jackson (bass/guitars) split time at the mics, while Adam Farley sits content to beat the paint off his drum kit. After just a year in LA, the band is packing out clubs and drawing loyal supporters nationwide. With the release of their first offering, The Shift and Blur EP, The Daylights set a daring tone, being just as much inspired by The Beatles and Led Zeppelin as they are by John Steinbeck, Radiohead or even Frederic Chopin, for that matter. It is music that is vast and cinematic in nature, inevitably becoming a sort of soundtrack to life. The Daylights' trademark: giant melodies that sink in for days. Look for The Daylights' full-length debut to hit stores later this summer.

He was a wreck, so he asked his roommates to help him write her a viral love letter to spread organically through social networks until she discovered it herself. Lucky for him, those roommates were the Los Angeles-based rock band The Daylights.   more at pastemagazine.com
