Third Light, from Kingston-upon-Thames, have been performing around the London area since 2005. In 2007 they recorded an EP which got quite a bit of play on LastFM. This self-produced single, "Leaders & Followers", is their first proper release and it is available on iTunes. The band are currently working on their debut album, "Built By Machines".
The band list influences such as Feeder and Smashing Pumpkins, Idlewild and Jimmy Eats World. I have to put my hands up and say that my record collection isn't exactly overflowing with this type of post-grunge alternative rock, but it the type of stuff I have been known to listen on internet radio and Spotify.
"Leaders and Followers" is a catchy blast of power-pop that is consistent with the list of influenced mentioned above. The other track, "Garden", is a slower affair which takes are more stealthy approach to working its way into your good books. These tracks, together with a few listens to their next single, "Time To Shine", all indicate that the debut album is one to watch out for if you are looking for some bright and breezy power pop-rock.
