Exclusive Stream: Up-and-Coming Rock Trio Lights Resolve
MP3
Lights Resolve, formed by three Lawrence, New York, high school pals in 2006, has been riding a steady streak toward success: The band toured with Straylight Run and the Used. And after impressing judges Chris Carrabba of Dashboard Confessional and Brendon Urie and Ryan Ross of Panic at the Disco, they won MTV2 and Time Warner's Rock Battle NYC and opened the Newark, NJ, stop of Dashboard Confessional and Panic and the Disco's fall tour.
The trio's sound on their two self-released records is diverse -- as much U2 as the Used. Their latest track, "Dreaming of Love" (below), mixes emo lyrics ("I've been dreaming of love / where did you go") with soaring guitars and punk urgency.
Listen to "Dreaming of Love." Then tell us if Lights Resolve deserve a recording contract, or not!
Listen: Lights Resolve, "Dreaming of Love"

I love the new song, I've listened to it multiple times already, and I can't wait for the new cd, For anyone that likes the song, you should definitely pick up their first 2 eps, they're full of great music. Oh, and Lights Resolve definitely deserve a recording contract. :)

I love finding new music online, it makes me feel like this digital revolution is worth something besdies an iPod! To answer you question, this band ABSOLUTELY NEEDS A RECORD CONTRACT! Bands like this need to be nurtured, they are the U2's and Coldplay's of tomorrow!!! SWEET TUNES!

Lights Resolve are three of the hardest working dudes I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Their love and level of dedication to what they do isn't seen in the music biz these days. And on top of their work ethic they write some of the catchiest damn pop songs. Both of their EPs are in my car and are on constant rotation.
Anyone who looks LR over are fools and will inevitably be kicking themselves later. Best of luck, dudes. I've got your back the whole way.

this song is amazing<3 i love it!!
a music group like lights resolve needs to get a record deal or contract or something because they are just so talented, and they put so much hard work into their music and they deserve to get some fame after all their hard work they have done!

i know lights resolve are extremely talented and i absolutely love their music. i'm surprised by how GOOD this song is, though, because i wasn't entirely sure what to expect. i do believe they need to be signed because i think that only good (and bigger and better) things can come out of it!

I saw them play at the Capitol Center with Dashboard and Panic. They were awesome. They opened and the opening bands get the least power and lights. It didn't matter. They ROCKED! When they get signed... and they will; They're gonna give them more power and volume.They're gonna blow the place down. These guys work really hard at what they do almost every day. They deserve a good contract. They're tryin real hard to give us what we want and they're doin a damn good job.

lights resolve are perfect for two things for me: driving and rocking out in my room all by myself.
they deserve a record contract. . . as long as it gets them to produce more kick ass music

Recording contract? Let's hope so. God knows, they deserve it.
Honestly, how can the Vanessa Hudgens get a recording contract and not these boys? They're so much prettier...I mean, talented...I mean, both.

UNREAL!!!!! Why is this band not signed yet??? I thought we were in an economic crisis not a lack of good music crisis. This band has such a fresh sound... exactly what this world needs right now. Something other than bullshit artists that don't know the first thing about music. This band brings real music back to the studio!!! Love them!!!
