True success will only be achieved through struggle and perseverance. This is a credo that A Dark In The Light takes to heart as the band continues to move itself up the ranks of the Boston heavy music scene in 2008. While Mike McCarthy (guitars, vocals) and Seth Roberts (drums, vocals) have waded through their share of personal and professional hurdles on their way to this exciting time, it is the music that has kept everything together. Formed out of a love for Metal, Blues, Punk, and sincere, intelligent Rock, A Dark In The Light does not hold fast to any claims or gimmicks. The music itself, and the people who care about music, are what matter most to the band.
Despite its northeastern roots, the band took shape in Gainesville, Florida, where McCarthy and Roberts united with bassist Josh Vlahos and began to craft the songs that would comprise their 2007 debut EP. Eight months of rehearsing, gigging, and recording resulted in something none of the three members were certain would be achieved—A Dark In The Light became something tangible. Heart, soul, and struggle were all wrapped up into a package and represented by eight songs that reflected a musical vision, and more importantly, a belief in that vision. The recent college graduates also learned a thing or two about life, and perhaps, that was the most valuable part of their Gainesville experience.
Looking to the future, the band parted ways with Vlahos and returned to the northeast in order to pursue their dreams a bit closer to home. The following months proved stressful, as they faced several setbacks in the search for the right musician to once again complete the band. After a few musicians briefly occupied the bass position, the band has now found the musician they believe will take them to a new level. As of April 2008, Robert Macleod has become a full-time member of the band and brings his years of experience and high level of skill to the established core. As a former member of established Boston area bands such as Rothchild and Dedspace, Rob will bring wisdom and diverse talents to the group that has been seeking a musician with these traits. With Rob, the band plans to write more -better-than-ever material while rocking the stages in and around Boston. In the past, A Dark In The Light has been lucky enough to grace the stages of well known venues such as the Freebird Live Café in Jacksonville, Florida, and The Middle East Club in Cambridge, Massachusetts, among others. With continued hard work the band will continue to build upon their previous successes in the near future. Thank you all for your support!
