The Emo Alternative-Rock Long Island, New York USA-based outfit Straylight
Run was formed in the spring of 2003 by guitarist+vocalist John Nolan
and bassist Shaun Cooper; the pair had already played together in the
first line-up of Taking Back Sunday;
they quickly enlisted drummer Will Noon and later John's sister Michelle
Nolan joined the new band as pianist+guitarist & vocalist.
The group went on a short headlining tour of the Northeast and toured
throughout Europe with Brand New.
By February of 2004 they were ready to record a full-length album. Straylight
Run's self-titled debut was released by Victory Records in September of
that same year, the record shot to #4 on the U.S. Top Independent Albums
chart and also hit #100 on The Billboard 200 Sales list, producing the
alt-Rock radio minor hit single "Existentialism On Prom Night".
In 2005 the band issued their sophomore effort, an EP titled "Prepare
To Be Wrong" which contained the single "Hands In The Sky (Big
Shot)", the 6-track set peaked at #12 on the Billboard's Top Independent
chart.
Straylight Run returned in June 2007 with a brand new CD, "The Needles
The Space", their second studio full-length disc and their first
album release on the Republic label. "Soon We'll Be Living In The
Future" is the first single off the new record.
