About

Formed in 2006 while all of its bandmembers were attending high school in Lodi, CA, A Skylit Drive quickly established a familiar post-hardcore sound, combining the aggression of screamo with the pop-leaning aspects of emo. The sextet released its debut EP, She Watched the Sky, in 2007 on Tragic Hero Records. By the end of that year, A Skylit Drive had endured numerous lineup changes, a situation that lent itself well to 2008's tense, angst-fueled full-length debut, Wires...and the Concept of Breathing. The album broke into the Billboard Top 200 and helped to establish the group outside of its West Coast confines.

The band kept busy throughout the year, touring with similar-minded outfits like Chiodos, Greeley Estates, August Burns Red, and Sky Eats Airplane, as well as releasing the live DVD Let Go of the Wires in December. The following June, A Skylit Drive released their sophomore effort, Adelphia, which marked their first release for Fearless Records. As usual, the guys supported its release by hitting the road, joining up with the Warped Tour that summer before traveling across America, the U.K., and Europe in early 2010. By February, they'd begun working on another album, Identity on Fire, which was released 12 months later in 2011. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi

    Motionless in White BOOM!

    by DaveJen on 12/2/10Crocodile Rock - Allentown

    I had never heard Scarlett O'Hara, For all those Sleeping, or Woe is Me before and now I LOVE THEM ALL. and on top of that, Motionless put on one of the greatest shows I've seen by any band in a long time.

    The bands that they all had there that night was amazing. They all just seem to fit together. The venue was a little far away for me but the drive was totally worth it. I just wish the concert started a little later but I still had an amazing night.

    This event had great bands playing at a nice venue. I drove four hours to see this show, and trust me it was 100% worth it. A Skylit Drive and Abandon All Ships were absolutely fantastic to watch. Fun bands, fans, and an awesome atmosphere. Bring these guys to Pittsburgh!
