Blackpool Lights

Featuring former-Get Up Kid Jim Suptic, Blackpool Lights is a relatively new band that plays music not terribly different than that of the Get Up Kids. I'd say if you're looking for a "This band sounds like:", it's have to be the Get Up Kids, with a dash of Hot Rod Circuit here and there. Definitely check them out. Here's a brief bio from their myspace page, info on their record, some links, and 3 songs from their debut album "This Town's Disaster", which is out now on Curb Appeal Records.

Blackpool Lights are a band from Kansas City, MO. featuring members of The Get Up Kids, The Belles, The Start, Buffalo Saints, and The Creature Comforts. The band was formed in the Fall of 2004 and includes Jim Suptic, Brian Everard, and Billy Brimblecom.

Blackpool Lights' first full length album "This Town's Disaster" will be available everywhere June 20th 2006 from Curb Appeal Records. You can also get the 5 song "Tour Ep" featuring two album tracks, a cover of Starry Eyes (by The Records), and two acoustic versions of songs from the full length.
