A NORTHERN LIGHT PLUS: GO SWIM R51 PALACES

A NORTEHRN LIGHT

Ever since their formation at the turn of the decade, A Northern Light have strived to push the sonic boundaries of the three-piece alt-rock band.

Their polished, high energy live performances have seen the band play at festivals alongside Foo Fighters, The Black Keys and The Cribs, as well as multiple live sessions for BBC Radio.

Several well-received EPs and singles, including the 2013 hit ‘Kill It’, have allowed them to develop their songwriting and production style all of which is evident in their new single ‘Paranoia’, the debut from the forthcoming EP ‘Kingdoms : One’.
