The Brights formed in Febuary 2003. Since the band formed they have made a big impact, playing gigs around the country, and in particular on the London music scene. After circulating several copies of their first demo 'Mother, I Don't Belong Here', recognition quickly followed. This led to the bands first release; 'Girl in a Bric-a-Brac Shop' in October 2004 on the independent label Bitterscene Records, which received airplay on Radio 1 by the late John Peel and on Xfm, as well as several other regional stations.
