Wild Light is a band comprised of equal parts nostalgia and fervor. Originally from New
Hampshire, they seamlessly incorporate ringing guitars, compelling keys, driving percussion and layered vocals into songs that build to anthemic intensity.
The New Hampshire-bred four-piece recently opened for Arcade Fire and LCD Soundsystem at Hollywood Bowl and Shoreline Amphitheatre in California, as well as Randall's Island in New York City. Last fall they joined Arcade Fire on their month-long European tour starting in Dublin and ending with three dates at London's Alexandria Palace.
Wild Light wins over crowds with candid lyrics that invoke memories of their shared small-town Northeastern upbringing. The seeds of these songs were planted through letters the band wrote to one another before forming in 2005.
Wild Light released their debut EP late last year and are currently working on their first full-length album.
