Guitar, bass, drums and 3 Voices... and an urge to make "Power-Pop" rhyme with "Noise".
Brighton tries to digest the 90's Rock sound while polishing it with a "Poppier" approach,
following the exemple set by Biffy Clyro, Foo Fighters, Feeder or Failure. Active for many years in the bands Time To Burn & Radius System, Brighton's 3 members
are now returning to their first musical crush, delivering straight-forward songs filled
with live energy.

Del Amitri are a Pop-rock guitar band, formed in Glasgow, Scotland in 1980. They came together at school as teenagers when Justin Currie (bass and vocals), James Scobbie (guitar and vocals) and Donald Bentley (guitar) formed a band in reaction against the rest of the 'rockers' in the school.
