Headlights performs "TV"

Headlights is a prime example of DIY perseverence. Selling out their independently released EPs through constant touring brought the band to the attention of Polyvinyl Records in 2005, where they released their debut full length Kill Them With Kindness. The album, which came out in August, has been receiving mass acclaim from both the mainstream and underground press. With it’s swirling ethereal guitars, electronic beats and dreamlike vocals, Kill Them With Kindness has drawn comparisons with bands as diverse as Lush and The Postal Service. In February the group received heightened attention when the song “Everybody Needs A Fence To Lean On” was used in the popular television show Grey’s Anatomy. Headlights performs on Friday (Oct. 27) at Mohawk Place with Canada and Ice Cream Social. The three bands have played together various times, and promise a costume-themed show just in time for Halloween.
