Cincinnati pop punk outfit, Old Flames, Bright Lights was formed in 2016 with the goal to blend influences of mid-2000’s emo and pop punk to tell personal stories about anxiety, depression, and the loss of dear friends in the Midwest. Their first release, The Mess showcased songs such as Every Adam Sandler Movie Can't Be Wrong, Right? and Coffee With a Dead Girl, garnered the attention of Alt Press, even being featured on their Discover Playlist.
The quintette went on a temporary hiatus, and quietly underwent a lineup change to release new singles that had never been finished before the release of The Mess, including Better Than This and Breathless.
