Capital Lights comes from the band afterEIGHT which was formed in 2002 by bassist and vocalist, bryson Phillips and guitarist, Brett Admire. The name came from the fact that they both worked at a diner known as Lee's and were allowed to practice there as long as it was "after eight o'clock". Soon, they went with it and the band name was given. Their first album, "Better Late than Never" part of "yeah Siam Records" was released in August of 2006.
In 2007 the band signed with Tooth & Nail Records and in 2008, they changed their name officially to Capital Lights when they toured with popular bands, Hawk Nelson and Run Kid Run.
In July of 2008, they released their first album under the label, "This Is an Outrage!" and shortly after their EP: "Revival of the Fittest EP". "This Is an Outrage!" in my opinion...is by far their best work. This amazing album includes singles like: "Mile Away", "Outrage", and "Let the Little Lady Talk". This whole album is just full of good stuff. Plug in and enjoy.
In August of 2009, the band announced that they were breaking up because God had different plans for each of them but that those plans would be impossible if they continued with the band.
THERE MAY BE SOME LIGHT THOUGH! On Christmas Eve of 2010, Bryson announced on a couple different radio shows that they were no longer an active band but would be releasing one last album on "Tooth & Nail Records". When that album will be released is still unknown. BUT, keep an ear out for them!
This Is an Outrage!" in my opinion...is by far their best work. This amazing album includes singles like: "Mile Away", "Outrage", and "Let the Little Lady Talk". This whole album is just full of good stuff. Here's a couple samples of them and if you really dig it, download the album. For now, Plug in and enjoy.
