White Light Riot
The Dark is Light Enough

"White Light Riot sound refreshingly like themselves, yet they'll satiate that
part of us that loves Coldplay, Franz Ferdinand, and U2. They perform live and
write songs way beyond their years which is exactly what young
music fans need: something great to believe in."

Produced by the ever talented Erik Appelwick.
