History

Lights Below started as a high-school cover band in 2003. They soon became bored of playing covers, and tried their hand at original material. After writing a few songs and playing a few shows, then drummer Ian MacDonald parted ways and was replaced by Taylor Grant. After recording a four song demo, they began touring, playing shows with bands such as Moneen
