About Me

InLight was formed in Oxford in January 2006 and kicked off with a gig at the Oxford Union almost immediately afterwards. They were soon tapped up to support Zane Lowe's 'Breaks Co-Op' at the Zodiac and then for a sell-out gig at The Cellar. The summer brought a show at 'Storm' in London's Leicester Square and a US Tour that took the group to New York City, Boston and Washington DC amongst other East Coast venues. Upon their return to the UK InLight headlined a sell-out show at the Zodiac in Oxford, played University College London to a welcoming crowd and headlined their own show at Durham University. Described as showcasing "instinctive, heart-splitting, melodies" built around "tinkling pianos" and "graceful, driving guitars" their first EP 'I See A Little Clearer' had an immediate impact on all who heard it. InLight's new EP, 'fire', will be out on May 4th...
