Biography

Since the release of the debut album This Is A Stickup…Don’t Make It A Murder, HIT THE LIGHTS have built a strong and loyal fan base worldwide through constant touring. The band has toured with the likes of New Found Glory, Boys Like Girls, Hellogoodbye, The Rocket Summer, appeared on the Warped Tour, Bamboozle as well as a sold out headline tour. Just as the band were getting ready to record their sophmore effort, they were dealt a serious setback when original singer Colin Ross decided to leave the band for a quieter life off the road. After months of looking for a new singer, they chose from within with guitarist Nick Thompson stepping up to lead vocals. Right away the band posted a cover of “The Warrior” by Scandal on absolutepunk.net, reaction was overwhelemingly positive, and the band knew they made the right move. With renewed determination, the band chose former Hidden In Plain View guitarist Rob Freeman to produce the album at his studio and have Zack & Ken (Mayday Parade, Cartel) mix. New songs capture the energy of the first album and more, fans will not be disappointed. From the pop punk of “Drop The Girl” , “Statues” to the pop sounds of “Tell Me Where You Are” and “On and On”. This will surely make the old fans happy while gaining new ones.

    Don't move away from neon pop punk. There's barely any of it left. :[

    still backing my boys forever and ever. Invicta is one of those albums that you just have to listen to a few times, to realize the full impact of it. They went through so much, and grew up so much in the time between releasing SSSF and finally getting to make and release Invicta. They just needed to get this deep dark album out. and I whole-heartedly believe that the next thing they do will be a beautiful blend of everything they've done in the past, plus everything new they're going through right now. This is their first full length album with Kevin as guitarist, and Kyle as additional percussion and vocals. I think this album was a nice introduction to the future of Hit The Lights.

    Seems like the opinions on Invicta are 50/50... I really enjoy it, as well as their old material, with either vocalist! Maybe I'm just easy to please.

    Invicta is amazing from start-finish, the last album had way too much filler in it.

    Up until Invicta, every single song HTL put out was pure gold. I couldn't believe how seamless the transition was from Colin to Nick. Invincta isn't bad by any means, but I had the bar set so high for HTL after the first 2 albums, it's definitely a disappointment for me. It has a handful of good songs, but some songs are just plain boring. I'm really hoping they return to form on the next album.
