House Lights is a five-piece post-hardcore/alt-metal/rock band from Manchester, NH, blending moody guitars, driving drums, and wistful synths with emotive vocals. Drawing from influences like Tool, Alexisonfire, and Linkin Park, they channel a 2000s Warped Tour spirit with a modern edge.

Formed by members of the former project Horns Become Halos, House Lights reemerged after a nine-year hiatus to release their 2023 album, What it Means to Feel. Expanding on the band’s original sound, this 11-track record offers a compelling evolution of their style. Despite previous setbacks, they also produced the Stages EP, a conceptual piece examining grief that was delayed by life’s twists and turns.

With fresh energy and an expanded lineup, House Lights further refines their approach, weaving atmospheric melodies with forceful riffs to strike a balance between introspection and intensity. Their dynamic performances mirror the band’s collective passion, setting them apart in today’s heavy music scene.

Now joined by new members, House Lights is driven by a renewed sense of purpose. Their raw, honest songwriting aims to make a meaningful impact and create a genuine connection with listeners.

Crash The Net is a pop punk power trio.

Permanent Blue is a 6 piece progressive alt rock band based in the North Shore. Two vocalists with a mixture of melodic vocals and screams. They weave beautiful guitar parts with a captivating blend of raw energy and emotional depth.

Drive Safe is an alt emo band.
