Goodnight Lights are nothing short of a great rock band. Amazing riffs, lyrics, vocals, bass, drums...hell, there’s not a flaw. If the Rolling Stones were spliced together with the Pixies, you would get the Goodnight Lights. The song that first hooked me was “Hannah.” You can’t beat the guitar in that song. It’s actually pretty hard to describe their songs since I find a new side to the band the deeper I dig into their albums. I want to dance to some while others I just want to stand and nod my head to while I take it all in. You’re missing out if you don’t give this band a chance.

Goodnight Lights have been playing Philadelphia venues such as World Cafe, Johnny Brenda's, The Khyber, The Fire, and The “M” Room, since January 2008. With Mike Schraeger writing the majority of songs and Jonah Delso and Ian Charlton contributing with some of their own tunes, the band’s sound is diverse, yet cohesive. Always constant are Schraeger’s well-placed guitar riffs and Delso’s bass lines that are sure to move your feet. Combine that with Mike Ziegler’s powerhouse drumming, Faith Charlton’s haunting vocal harmonies and synth counter melodies, and Ian’s strat-twanging guitar and you have Goodnight Lights.
The band's sound encompasses the charm and diversity of Pavement and the Velvet Underground. This is mixed with the twisted pop sensibilities of Pixies and Built to Spill and raw urgency of the Replacements, Arcade Fire and the Stooges.
