State Lights

**State Lights** is an Irish indie-pop band that emerged from Dublin's vibrant music scene, blending shimmering synths with heartfelt lyricism. Formed around 2015, the quartet—fronted by charismatic vocalist Shobsy—quickly carved out a space with their anthemic tunes and moody, ’80s-tinged vibes, drawing comparisons to acts like The 1975 and The Killers. Their releases, like the emotive "Give Me Something Human" and the soaring "Freedom," showcase their knack for pairing introspective themes with catchy, radio-ready hooks. Known for energetic live shows (including their punchy *Take on Me* and *Tilted* covers), they’ve built a loyal following in Ireland and beyond, evolving from basement gigs to festival stages like Electric Picnic. With a debut album (*Rochester*, 2020) and a string of earnest, synth-driven singles under their belt, State Lights keep proving they’re here to stay—one heartfelt chorus at a time.
