Lights Below

about

Burnaby, BC, Canada (2003 - 2008) Lights Below are a Post-Hardcore/Metalcore band from Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada. Lights Below started as a high-school cover band in 2003. They soon became bored of playing covers, and tried their hand at original material. After writing a few songs and playing a few shows, then drummer Ian MacDonald parted ways and was replaced by Taylor Grant. After recording a four song demo, they began touring, playing shows with bands such as Moneen. In 2004, they enlisted a second guitarist, Sean Jackson. Now a five piece, they hit the studio once again to record their latest material. Completing a 6 song EP, they released it in April of 2005. The band spent most of 2006 writing new songs, and recorded "She Teaches Defeat" in 7 days in April, 2007 in the middle of a 4-month North American tour. While on tour in Kearney, Nebraska, the band inked a deal with Canadian indie label Torque Recording Company. Torque would release "She Teaches Defeat" across Canada in September of that year. On December 1, 2008 the band announced it had broken up. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
