Biography
Formed in Lodi, CA, in 2006 while all of the members were still in high school, post-hardcore/screamo sextet A Skylit Drive released their debut EP, She Watched the Sky, the following year on Tragic Hero. By the end of 2007, the group had endured numerous lineup changes, a situation that lent itself well to 2008's tense, angst-fueled full-length Wires...and the Concept of Breathing. The album broke into the Billboard Top 200 and helped to establish the band outside of its West Coast confines. A Skylit Drive 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 2009 the band released its sophomore effort, Adelphia, on Fearless Records.
