Since the break up of Fueled by Ramen pop band The Friday Night Boys in early October of last year, previous drummer Chris Barrett has been busy creating a solo project of his own. Creatively producing music in his own unique style, while aiming to bring the true meaning behind music back, Chris has been “spending the last year or so now getting the songs ready and recorded and making sure they’re as good as [he] thinks they can be first.” What is his sound like? Well, if you haven’t already heard his first released single titled Sky High, it will be available on iTunes along with a brand new single on February 15th! Combining the styles of pop, rock, R&B, and hip-hop, Chris is well on his way to making a huge impact on the music industry. With that being said, Chris has big dreams to change the lives of those willing to listen to his music, backed up by a huge potential to do so.

Trucking from Vienna, Virginia, The Bigger Lights is a five piece male band with their minds set on bringing the rock and roll feelings that were common in the 1980’s back to the music industry today. These sounds are exactly what one experiences when slipping in one of their CDs into a car stereo, making this band a force to be reckoned with. Vocalist Christopher “Topher” Talley, guitarists John Kendall “JK” Royston and Chris McPeters, bassist Dan Mineart, and drummer Ryan Seaman bring their own unique sounds together to create a type of music that is less common nowadays in the music scene. Since putting out their first EP under their Doghouse Records label titled “Fiction Fever” in 2009, The Bigger Lights have made quite a name for themselves. Joining bands such as There For Tomorrow, Cartel, This Providence, Anarbor, and Hey Monday in tours that ran across the United States, The Bigger Lights have created an army of a fan base that is located in all parts of the world. After putting out their first self-titled full length record last year, The Bigger Lights have continued to keep themselves busy through touring, setting out on their first headlining tour called “The Caffeine and Skinny Jeans Tour” that ran for a few weeks in August throughout the east coast. The band is currently in the process of writing and recording a new album, and I got the opportunity to interview guitarist JK Royston regarding what can be expected in the future with this rock and roll band.
