The Grey Lady Sessions: THE FIERY LIGHTS + KHARMA & THE DEVIL

The Fiery Lights:

The Fiery Lights write songs that tell stories, laid over a backdrop of alt-rock guitar riffs, pounding drums and the occasional bit of electronic magic.

One of them speaks 4 languages, two of them are called Chris and the singer was so scared of fire as a kid that the school had to call his parents in to ask if he’d ever been trapped in a burning building. The 3 piece met via an ad in their local record store, where they played their first show a few months later. Their debut album, “1982″, is out now on Zungenbrecher Records.

The album’s 10 tracks take in, amongst other things: the true(ish) story of the doomed lovers who embark on spur-of-the-moment holiday a few hours after meeting; a Presidential exit speech ahead of its time; the madness of social media; repeating the same mistakes over and over again; being scared of fire; the chimpanzee left for dead by his tribe who drags himself back up to hunt down those who attacked him; a nod to Elvis Costello; 1980s fizzy drinks and a plethora of other stories, people and moments that stuck in our minds.

Out now on Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp. 12” limited edition vinyl release coming later in the year.

Kharma & The Devil

After writing their own material for their main stage set at Local and Live in 2024, they have gone from strength to strength, releasing their first EP earlier this year. Drawing on influences from the likes of the Rolling Stones, Pearl Jam, the Doors, the Black Crowes, the Who, Foo Fighters and more, expect a high energy set full of foot-stomping riffs and memorable hooks.
