Your Name In Lights was an experimental post-hardcore band from Los Angeles/Compton, California, United States who later relocated to Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States.

Your Name In Lights is a band who created the sound of a hybrid between a ninja and a ballet dancer fighting a caveman with guitar nunchucks!
